I have been neighbors with Mrs. Frances for 7 years. My children learned to love her. We all did. She was always so kind. My children started calling her Aunt Frances about a year into our stay as her neighbor. She treated us like family and nothing less. She sown beautiful mask for my children during the pandemic. She was always so lively and full of life. I want to send my condolences to her friends and family. We all lost a beautiful soul Thursday. I will keep all of you in my prayer's. I pray that you all can find comfort in your hearts. I still can't believe she is gone. I found myself walking up and down my driveway looking at her house and thinking how lonesome it's going to be without her. She really was a beautiful soul. Again I'm so sorry for her family. God bless all of you.
