My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Auntie Frances was always gracious and warm. She made the best home made chicken noodle soup. I also remember the great visits and playing pool in the basement. Love and best wishes .Michael Filtz[son of Albert and Julia Filtz Sydney Australia]

I will always remember Auntie Frances as being such a loving and kind person. Whenever I would see her, she would give me a hug and a kiss and tell me that she loved me. She reminded me so much of my Grandma Esther.
