It is with a sad and heavy heart that I share in the passing of my forever beloved mother in law, who was known for her kindness, warmth, and generosity. She was an exemplary host, and her family gatherings were always filled with love, laughter, and delicious food.
She was a wonderful wife to Bo Glasco, and mother to Denise and grandmother to Jonathan and Ariel. Her unwavering love and devotion to her family was truly inspiring. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
As I mourn her loss, I take comfort in the words of Proverbs 31:28-29, which says "Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many women do noble things, but she made every effort in the most humble and gracious way to surpass many in her generation.
Frances lived a life of faithfulness and devotion to her family, and I will always cherish her profound expressions of love towards me and my family. Even in the last years of her life... she being in ill health. She strongly believed in a mission to encourage others. I will greatly miss her encouragement.

" Don't borrow trouble" was one of her favorite quotes. She told us this so many times. I think of it and her since the 80's all the time. She'll be missed. She kept that office and the rest of us straight!

What a beautiful person. I had the pleasure of working with Frances for 12 years at Robertshaw. She was a loving and caring person. I am better for having known her. Thoughts and prayers with the family.
