I have many great memories of Frances. The ones that I remember most are the wonderful times of fellowship that was shared during the early years of my marriage while in the family with Frances, Floyd, Beverly and Sherri. Those days are now long past, but the memories continue to remain. May you rest in peace, and may God bless the family.
