What a shock to find that my close friend grades 7-10 had left this world to go to her most glorious reward. She certainly is with the others saved by Grace. I am so sad that I just found out about her passing.

God bless them at this time of great loss and sorrow. R.I.P. Frances...

Frances will greatly be missed, all of us who graduated with Frances at PHS 1954. At the reunions we have had in the pass Frances would tell me whenever I sent out e-mail Gary would always say got another one from TJ. Frances always had a kind word to say about everybody.
May God watch over you Gary and your family?
God Bless,
