In a gentle voice our mother often told us she loved us, and later with just her sweet silent smile she looked into our eyes through tears, or softly placed her hand against our cheek. She left us with so much love on July 26, 2014, and a full life of 87 years. She was preceded in death by our father Dr. Ernest Morrell Tomlinson, her husband of 50 years, and left behind children Bill, Candy, Kitty and Michael, all grateful for caring parents and a wonderful mother who with grace and no reserve so completely accepted and loved each of us. She was the only surviving child of Leland D. and Martha Endsley Glascock who passed before her. Frances will also be missed by her children’s spouses Sal, William, Tom, granddaughters Nora, Beth, Lucy, extended family and many dear friends that she often spoke of fondly while remembering many good times they had together.
