I remember Frances in several capacities. She was the mother of my two friends, Anna (high school UMC youth group) and Carole (High Street UU church). Frances was also a social work colleague of my mother, Juanita Stevens.

Frances was gracious, welcoming, and caring, always expressing care and concern to those who were privileged to know her. It was always great to see her, and I value my childhood memories of her. She was a great MYF mom.

Sending love and prayers to Anna and Carole.
