Im so sorry to hear of the passing of a very dear bowling friend. She always had a smile on her face and always had a big hug and a welcome for everyone. I will really miss her.
The Lord bless the family. Hope to see you at bowling sometime.

Very saddened to see that Frances recently passed. I had the pleasure of taking care of both Frances and Bernards visual care for many years. A delightful couple deeply in love with one another, and wonderful to have as patients.
