How strange it is to be without the aunts and uncles here, and what a headache God must have with those four brothers united again. Even in their elder years both Aunt Frances and Uncle Bob had great influence on my life because of their great love for me, and the example they set for sharing. Aunt Frances and Mother were such close friends and I always laugh at the toothless picture that Jim took one afternoon. Only they would allow such a silly pictrue! How I loved my parents and my second parents, Aunt Frances and Uncle Bob. How wonderful to know we will see them again.

How sad I am for us--How happy I am for Aunt Frances! What a beautiful voice to add to the heavenly host, and what laughter and joy is being shared by our loved ones. I have so many happy memories of days spent with Uncle Bob & Aunt Frances, both in Springfield and at Winona. Their influence of love and caring will be with me always. My love and condolences to their children and all of their family.
