Grandma Framer you sure will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family. Your great big smile and your lovely stories that we enjoyed so much. You are in good hands now but, will definitely be missed.

Elva Mae was a special member of our church family at Trinity Christian (Disciples of Christ) and she will be missed. We are sad to lose a friend but we can be comforted by knowing -- with certainty -- where she is at this point. I know God welcomed her and her winning spirit and big smile to heaven with open arms!! May He bless all who mourn her passing from this life.

Will, Berta, Ned, and I can not express our sorrow in your time of sadness. All we can do is say how much we love you and your family. I am so glad my Mom got to talk with your Mom over this past week-end. See you in March. Love from your cousin Nancy

Mom, We will miss your fun loving spirit and your gentle kindness. I am so lucky to have known you. Will, thank you for sharing your mother so generously with the entire extended family. She was certainly one of a kind. The world's loss is heaven's gain.
