Jack, Linda, Shirley and family,
It is truly a difficult thing to lose one's parents. We finally become aware of all they did for us over the years, and the unconditional love that was in thier hearts, no matter what!
Francis will be missed by many, but she is at peace and with her beloved Truman.
May you all keep the best memories of her forever in your hearts.

Jackie and Linda, Marianne and I are so very sorry for your loss. Francis will always have a warm place in my heart especially after she realized it was you and not me that was the instigator. I hope she runs into Mother up there and says hello.

For all of the family,
You all know that Francis is with Truman in Heaven celebrating a glorious homecoming. Always remember that God's word tell you all, that one day you will be reunited with all of your loved ones that have gone on to Heaven.
Give God thanks for such a God fearing, and Christ loving family as you all have, Amen.
