Aunt Frances,

Words cannot describe how much I will miss you. We shared some really good times. I remember our love for working puzzles together. You were always there for me and while I will miss you dearly I know you are no longer suffering and in a better place. I will cherish your memory and continue to honor your name. Love you much.

Aunt Frances,

I love you so much. I will miss you. I can remember you taking me to church when I was younger and always being there. When my grandmother (Alice) died I was about ten. You comforted me and told me that it would be okay because you would be my grandma and be there for me. At my wedding you did just that and stood in rightfully so as my grandmother. I will cherish our shopping days and the cookouts at your house on Melville Street. As hard as this is right now, I truly believe in God and I know he doesn't make mistakes. You are truly in a better place. You will be missed but it is comforting to know you will be with my Grandma Alice and your sisters watching over all of us. I love you always.
