Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Rice was truly blessed and Faithful, an amazing and inspirational Teacher, and beautiful lady in every way. I am so grateful God blessed me in allowing me to know her! I believe she is in Heaven helping in any way God needs her!

I spent the first seven years of my teaching career working with Francis at Littlerock Elementary. She was a good friend and colleague.

Remembering her smile and the energy and joy she brought to all her family, friends and endeavors. She's left a legacy and a model to live by.

Dear Family, Educators touch the future. No telling where their influence ends. Mr. Eric Rice may your happy memories and faith comfort you and your family.

Frances and I have been colleagues and friends for over 50 years . We taught school together for 18 of those years and have remained close friends ever since. We still could talk non stop whenever we were together even if we hadn´t seen each other in 6 months. I will miss you SO much dear friend.

We will cherish the wonderful memories we have our dear lil Frances.

Frances was a beautiful woman both inside and out! She was overflowing with kindness, gentleness, gratefulness, joy and grace. She always wore an infectious smile! She worked for the good in all that she did, and she was successful at that! It was my privilege to know Frances through PEO Chapter AV, which made us sisters at heart. I am sure she is busy with a new assignment in Heaven and has an eternal smile on her face!

mrs. rice was the best first grade teacher ever. I'm so grateful for your dedication and passion".
