Livingston, Charles, Mr.Ford and her children.

Trust in the Lord that He will comfort you in the darkest hour and to know she is now a true angel in heaven.


My heart is heavy that my friend is not here anymore, but I know to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD.

My beloved true friend is now at peace.

Frances was a genuine caring and loving person who brought light everywhere she went.


I have fond memories of Frances and the activities we did as middle and high schoolers. We stayed in the donut shop across the street from Lincoln Middle School.

Livingston and my brother Rodney are friends and they used to get on our nerves growing up.


Farewell my friend for now and I will see you on the other side.

We all go to sleep at different times but when the trumpet sounds we will all get up at the same time.

Love You Frances
