I pray Frances is at peace and at rest alongside her husband, sons and mother that she was missing so very much. Her family left behind will miss her but have so very many memories of times shared with her to cherish and bring smiles after the tears have dried. God Bless her grandchildren and great grandchildren and I know that her presence once in their lives remains with them forever. The 40 years I knew and shared with Frances were filled with love, tears, ups and downs and there were times she and I had our differences; but the love we jointly felt for her son and the children that love once created,kept us in touch. She and I remained close and friends till her death. She always said I was the daughter she never had and I will always be honored by that sentiment. Frances, rest knowing you are once again with the ones you have loved and missed so much and you are loved still by those left behind.
