I am sorry to hear of Frances' passing. She and I spent many childhood days at New Concord school together. She was my first and best friend and we play endless hours together. I have not lived in Murray for many years, but her friendship is one of my sweetest memories. My sympathy to her family, and especially to Audie....I remember you as her sister....you are in my thoughts and prayers.
