Lexa has seen another precious angel get her wings. Although we miss her, we know she is whole and praising her Lord. What a glorious homecoming she had, seeing Jesus and her family and friends. We pray God’s blessings and comfort on her family. See you later Ms. Frances!

To know Miss Frances was to love her. For almost 30 years, we shared an amazing friendship that included my whole family. Together we kept half the kids in Phillips County. We often laughed about getting paid to watch little kids play. Her presence in my life is sorely missed. She dearly loved her family and I extend my deepest,most heartfelt sympathy to each of you. Kathy, you were a wonderful niece. God bless you.
