We are so saddened by this news. Frances was not only one of the best neighbors a person could have but one of the best women I've known. She was caring, compassionate, helpful and full of faith. The years we were able to visit her and Mr Calvin we realized what very, very special people they both were. Both were the salt of the earth and are now gathered around that throne with Mr Calvin's wonderful bass voice declaring their love for the Savior. Well done good and faithful servants.
