Dear Family, Frances & I were friends throughout high school, in Glee Club together, & corresponded for years after. She was always a sweet, loyal, loving friend; I used to stay overnight sometimes in that same house where she grew up; I remember the beautiful wainscoting on the walls, & wonderful meals her Mom prepared, & how hard her father worked on their farm near the Hudson River. I don´t think she had an easy life with 2 husbands who died while she was raising her children, but she was full of grace. I remember her lovely, wide smile & beautiful eyes. I´m so sorry for your loss. Very Best, Pam (Mattice) Thompson
