When I remember Aunt Frances Mary, I think of her as a lady at all times, I truly admired and respected her. As a child, I spent the night many times with my Cousins, and was always amazed how many tuna fish sandwiches she could get out of one can, I was an extra for the lunch box. She will be remembered and missed.
