Dear Len and Lee,
We are so very sorry about the sudden death of "Miss Frances". She was a true and gracious Southern lady who shall be greatly missed by all- family, as well as friends. She was so loved and respected by so many people. She was always like a "second Mom" to me, especially after my Mama passed away, and to my Patrick, she will be remembered, as he always called her, "Granny Fran." I can remember the fun times at the Lake Sinclair,as well as my many trips to Dillard's Lad and Lassie over the years, especially after the birth of Patrick. We have truly been blessed to have had her in our lives over the years."Miss Frances" is now reunited with her beloved "Mr. D", Mamo and Grandaddy. Heaven has gained a gracious and much loved Southern angel, who shall continue to watch over us. She will always be remembered and cherished by us in a very special way.
Our love and sincere condolences are extended to you at this sad time. God bless and watch over you.
With our love and sympathy,
Jo Alice (Patterson), Steve, and Patrick Welton, and Judge Joe Patterson, Jr.

Dear Lee and Helen,
I am so sorry for your loss - but heaven's gain - your mother was such a lovely person and always so gracious. I have fond memories of spending time with you as we grew up and shopping at Lad and Lassie's for my own daughter.
Much love to you both,

Dear Lee and Helen,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I have fond memories of growing up right up the street from you all and then buying all of my own daughter's Easter dresses at Lad and Lassie. God Bless You both during this time.
Love,
Deanna (Seward) Sanders
