Frances was a dear, sweet friend who was so loyal and kind and always wanted to help. She had a mischievous sense of humor and a positive attitude in hard times that I am really going to miss. She loved her kids and grandkids and talked about them a lot. Frances, thanks for being my friend and caring about me-I look forward to the day we get to be together again!
