My condolences to the family of a much loved lady. I only knew Frances as a customer at my fabric shop. She took classes with us and loved everything about sewing. But what I loved the most about her was her sweet nature to everyone she met. I loved her kind, gentle way of living her life and knew that she was Christian as soon as I met her for the first time,. It has been some time since I have seen her out and about but she always knew me whenever we happened to meet. I made many good friends in my years as a shop owner, but Frances is one I will always remember. Heaven is a brighter place today because she is there,
SO VERY SORRY
