Frances,

You were very much loved by me. I miss you so much already. You were my best friend. One who told me the way it was, but loved me for being me. I will never forget you. The first day we met you laughed because I couldn't nail a nail. You thought I was a spoiled brat, but then you gave me a chance and we became good friends. Your memory pops up five or more times a day already. I miss calling you to see what you ate or cooked for supper. I will never forget the good times and bad times we shared. I always have and will continue to talk about them. Thanks for everything my friend. Until we meet again. I love you.
