Frances was a loving mother, a faithful wife, a cool mother-in-law, and a lady in every good way. I will miss her happy hugs, and I hope she and Sarah are now sharing happy moments in Heaven.

The unfailing love of the LORD never ends! By his mercies we have been kept from complete destruction. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day. I say to myself, 'The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!'
