Frances was our definition of joy and life. She was definitely the light in every room, finding friendships in every walk of life and giving to those in need wherever she might find them. But her family was her focus. She cherished all of their news, cards, phone calls and visits and they continue to adore her in return. She leaves a precious legacy to us.
