To my Aunt Frances
You were a truly special person. You always had a smile and easy laugh. You just brightened the room. Every time I saw you, you just had a way of making me happy. And your pecan pie will never be matched.
Thank you for all your kindness. We will miss you but know you are in a better place. Love Bob & Hazel

Aunt Frances, You were my second mother-always loving & caring. We both loved to shop, looking for the best bargains. We enjoyed day trips to Yankee Candle, New York City, & Bridge of Flowers. You made the best Pecan Pie!!! I will miss you.
