This is devastating to me and we are all experiencing this great loss. When I heard the news, I was incredibly shocked, saddened, and heartbroken. We never really think that those so near, respectable, and dear to us will really pass, so I know this must be especially hard on her family and friends. I can't imagine what the family is going through.
Frances was a kindhearted and generous person. As a recipient of her kindness and generosity, she will be missed greatly. I thank God for giving me a true genuine friend of 45+ years.
The loss of a person as wonderful as Frances isn't going to be easy, especially her character. She was full of strength, energy, life, confidence, kindness, compassion and self-worth.
This was one friend that allowed and accepted me to be Sandy. She always welcomed you with open arms. Because of Frances, I learned to greet people with hugs! I didn’t have to be around her or contact her every day. She never wanted me to worship her because we were on the same page in our Christian walk and knew that we “Worship GOD”. Two songs that remind me of Frances are by The Rance Allen Group featuring Kirk Franklin “Something about the Name Jesus” and Hezekiah Walker “Every Praise”.

You are looking for special words of comfort for a valiant, bold, brave efforts, courageous, dauntless, doughty, fearless, gallant, greathearted, heroic measures, dedicated, wise, knowledgeable, charisma, energetic, remarkable, exemplary, extraordinary, woman of people who are grieving you must look no further than within your heart. Frances’s home going showed deep gratitude, dignity, and respect for what she contributed to her lifetime with family, community, church, and photography studio which was her beautiful art, stunning, outstanding, amazing, dreamy and spectacular captures.
It acknowledged that the impact for good and that those mourning her passing promised to do certain things in remembrance of her.
It was heartfelt! It was a gentle reminder that even though our loved one is physically gone, Frances is always present. It comforted the grieving to know that the people who was so special to them, was special to others as well! Frances, a peacemaker! Rest in Peace {R.I.P.}.
I hope this story brightens your day and helps you realize the number of lives Frances has touched. She will never be forgotten she would always say: This always struck me as memorable and I will never forget the lasting impression that Frances made on me. I know that you feel the same. Know that during this dark time, you are not alone and we all grieve with you. I hope all the cherished memories that you have of Frances brings you some light during this dark time. Please accept my sincerest condolences.

Love, Sandy Williams
