I was so sorry to hear about Frances, I have known her since we were all kids her Aunt was married to my Uncle Kirby then she married my cousin. Gene's dad was my dads first cousin . I hadn't seen her in over a year I used to see her at the beauty shop about every week but I hadn't seen her since I don't go to the same beauty shop anymore. Frances was always a very nice person and seemed to enjoy life, I know her family will miss her so much. all of you will be in my prayers, May God bless each of you.

Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. The battle is over. I was a teen baby sitter for Mr. Gene and Mrs. Francis. I do not think you could find a person on the planet who was as loving and giving as Mrs. Francis. I cannot count the times you fed me. Take your rest Mrs. Francis, you will never be forgotten.
