Billy-Marvin and I are sorry to hear of Frances' passing, we will miss her friendly wave as we drive by. As neighbors, I wish we could have gotten to know her more than just in driving down the street. If there is anything we can do for you now or in the future, please do not hesitate to stop in or give us a call. Dee Blalock
