Every once in a while you cross paths with people you just think the world of. Mr. and Mrs. Frensley represent those examples in life we would all do well to adopt. This wonderful lady was someone who represented her community and church so well. I know friends and relatives are hurting now, but know she was loved so much by so many. God Bless family and friends at this difficult time.
