I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Frances in 2015 which i have only just read about. My dad and mum met up with her and Jack many years ago and kept in touch and i too visited her and Jack and some of the family many,many years ago on my travels.
My dad has just passed away last Thursday so the links have gone but not forgotten.

She will be greatly missed! There are so few of her character and elegance. Her legacy is amazing and her love of people and the town of Fuquay astounding. We will miss her in Fuquay and at the lake! Sincere sympathy, Belinda and Chris
