Our thoughts are with Frances' family at this time. We got to know Frances while living at SOUTHERLAND PLACE. She was always cheery to everyone.

Nancy, Wes, and family,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.. I have fond memories of your mother... always will remember her saying she was the "young-est" old lady she knew.... She was such an elegant lady and will be missed. If there is anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to call..

Ms. Young will be greatly missed by everyone here at SOUTHERLAND PLACE. She was always the lady from her manicured nails to her clothes and hair. She was very proud of her role as the church secretary and how much the "golden rule" meant to her. We had a lot of great times with Ms. Young and the world has lost a little luster from her passing. We will miss you Ms. Young!
