I'll always remember Frances and Mel as being loyal and caring members of the Rinehart family.
Sorry I couldn't have been closer during later years.

As long as I can remember, my Mother, Arvene Lee Schmidt would say that she was going to her "Club Meeting" that took place each month. It was a meeting of "girls" who went to Central High and graduated together about 1930. Frances was part of this group and she and Mel are both very much part of my childhood memories. Frances is the "last woman standing" from this group. This is being written on what would have been my Mother's 95th birthday. I live in southeastern Pennsylvania so I will not be able to come to the services. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless!
