Joan, Jimmy, Thelma and Families,
I am sorry to hear of Frances' passing. I have memories of your family from when both Charles and Dick were with us. You always seemed to enjoy each others presence so much. I know that this loss will create another void in your family, for which I pray God will fill with joyful and loving memories.
love ya'll,
Shelby Goins (Bass)
