Frances was my freshman roommate and the U of Mo. Today, a friend sent me a link where you can see all of our yearbooks online and it inspired me to search for her. I am sad to find her obituary. She was a sweetheart and I was blessed to have known her

My sincere condolences to Jim and your whole family. Frances was one of my ZTA sisters at UMR and, though we didn't keep in touch, I remember her very fondly, especially her smile and kindness. I just saw in the latest Missouri S&T magazine that she had passed - hard to believe. May your good memories bring you comfort.

Just saw this through our alumni magazine. I was a ZTA sister of Frances' and was just thinking of her recently with great fondness. All she touched should remember her with great love & affection.

Our prayers are with you Wren Family. We will also have found memories of Frances and our time spent together on the baseball field and raising money for the kids. Her generosity, her laughter, her quick wit and humor, and her wonderful piano playing will be things we never forget about her. May God hold you up in this very difficult time of saying so long for now. Sincerely, Ken Coppock Family
