Aunt Frances you will be truly missed. I love you and wish my boys could have gotten to know you as the wonderful (let me do things my parents would'nt) aunt that you were to me. You were a huge influence in my life and showed me you did'nt have to change to suit others. I thank you for that. Curtis and Bruce I have no way to contact you but feel free to call me anytime 813 531-5514.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Death is an unfortunate thing we all have to deal with and we have all lost someone to death. But do you know there is a hope that we will see our dead loved ones again? God has given us a hope found in the bible that we will see our dead loved ones again and wont that be a joyous time. Hopefully this will bring you some comfort in your time of bereavement...
