I returned into town and found that Frances has gone home. I know she has been in a physical struggle and mentally has not known a lot of people for some time. I pray that as God has calmed her storm, he calms you and gives you peace and comfort in the wonderful memories you have with her. May God bless and keep you. If I can be of any assistance, please feel free to call, 623-6122. Peace and grace, Danielle
