Nate, I regret that I never met your Mother. But I feel as if I have known her for a lifetime. So many friends and relatives knew this wonderful woman. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you allow laughter and memories to aid your hearts in healing. Frances made sure that we all listened to the song of life...........

Frances was one of the most caring, respectful, beautiful women that I have meet. It was a joy to get to know her, take care of her, and love her. Her children were blessed to have a mother to raise and teach them how to carry on and pass it onto their children. That is a lifetime of being able to say we were thought by our mother and what a joy that is. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends. Tracey Cornwell and Katy Clanton

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother and friend. I remember her from my teenage years when my Dad, Bert Stradley, was Supt. of Ross Furniture Co. She was always so nice and gracious to our family. My Dad passed away January, 2009 at the age of 98. It is always hard when your parents are gone. May God comfort you in the coming days.
