I always loved stayin the night with Kristin when were younger and she lived with her grandma and grandpa. They always made me feel welcome and always made me laugh!!! Francis always had a beautiful smile!
                                       With Love Brandie C. 

Our family was blessed by you in two different ways. You were my grandpa Rosendo’s sister, then you became by grandma Ida’s cousin when you married Matt Bustos. I loved your sweet voice and loving nature. Rest In Peace Tia.

At 18, I learned how to make lasagna by my husbands aunt Frances. The next time I went to be with her, I helped her plate Mexican combination plates for a benefit held in her house with proceeds going to the Democratic party. Then there was the family effort of the Art Tafoya Golf Tournament that proceeds went to the GI Forum. Holy Trinity benefitted from her delicious cookies and baked goods and her unique crafts. She made things look easy. I was thrilled to help sell her cookbooks.
I loved her as my very own aunt and so did my family. She held the title of Aunt Frances by my parents and siblings. What I want to share with her children, grand children and the future generations is that if you speak about her, through you, she will never die, so tell her stories and keep her alive in memories. I love Aunt Frances and she loved 
me!



What a beautiful picture of Frances.  She will be missed.  She was a very close friend, Comadre to my Parents Manuel and Adeline Salinas.  She spoke with my Mother often after my Father passed away. Her smile and laughter always made me feel good.  Frances lived a full life.  The Family always makes me and Lupe feel like we are part of their Family.  That is a very special Tribute to Frances. Our deepest Sympathy to the Family.  Roy and Lupe Salinas
