Frances was a dear and special friend. We want to give our condolences to her family. She will be greatly missed. Frances had such a good outlook on life. I never saw her down until the last time I saw her. She wasn't responding to me then. We know she is in a better place now with her husband and smiling down on us while she is sitting with the Lord.
