Not sure what to say?

I shall remember Aunt Frances mostly for four things: She kept us connected; she bragged; she never gave up hoping we'd become the letter writer she was; she shared her faith. After our mother (Alice Miriam) died, she worked hard to stay in touch with us over often long distances, offering love, humor, advice when asked for, and occasionally money--though she kept that a secret. Her letters, too often unanswered by we ungrateful ones, were a source of information, fun and pride in the...

To the family of Frances: I only knew her for one semester of English at MCC. WHAT AN IMPACT she had on my life. I was @35 yrs. old and facing a most difficult time of my life. Hers spoke volumes. That semester she had her 70th birthday,got her Doctorate degree, retired (from teaching), was building a new house on the river with her husband, got her ears pierced with her Granddaughter Laurie (who was a friend of my daughter, Cristy Shields). In class she always talked of her "bunny's"...

Dear Foreman family,
Glory be our our Faithful Father for the great work He has done through Francis. Though I not know her, the testimonials of her reputation as a person devoted to the lordship of Jesus Christ will always be with us. She has been faithful, a mentor to others and has now entered into the glory of our Father. The angels have rejoiced and she has heard those glorious words, "Well done good and faithful servant, enter...."
Let us all keep on!

Aunt Frances was such a special person to our family. Being the oldest sister of my mother, Alice Miriam, Aunt Frances stayed in touch with me, my siblings, and our children in numerous ways after our own mother's death. Aunt Frances wrote to me about my political career and to my daughter, Hannah, about her poetry, and through all of her communications, she showed her humor, love of life, and love for us. Aunt Frances came to our family reunion in Albuquerque in 1989. We were so honored...

Mike,
The Turners let us know about your Mom. We just had Lynn's Mom's "Praise service" yesterday, as she went home May 19, at age 85. We extend our sincere sympathy to you and your family. What a wonderful Mom and Godly legacy!
Blessings,
Lynn & Susan Hill

Mike & Lynne,
We were saddened at the news of your Mom's passing even though we know that she's met the Master face-to-face. Glory!
We are praying for you and the entire Family. We pray for God's comfort, peace and richest blessings. (Rev. 22:1-5)

Although many miles separated our families (her brother Edward in Michigan), I have very fond memories of my Aunt Frances. From our visits to Florida, her Christmas letters and her wonderful tribute to my Father at his memorial service - she was a woman of many talents and accomplishments. What a long and successful life she was able to lead. Love to her family, Barbara (Beck) Wendling

Looking back at the many occasions I’ve had in past years to talk with Mrs. Foreman, both in person and by phone, I am reminded of her strong character. She was always very welcoming and loved to chat. Almost all conversations included talk about her family ... it was obvious that she loved them dearly and was very proud of all their accomplishments. She was a remarkable woman ... a woman of deep faith. My husband, Bob, and I extend our sincere sympathies to all the Foreman family.
