To Mat and family I am sending my deepest condolences on the loss of Frances. I am so thankful that we were all able to get together at the Nelson Maher reunion in August and spend such special time with one and other. Unfortunately, I am presently in Florida and will be unable to attend the service. You are in my thoughts and prayers. She will be missed. Love Kathie Hess and family.
