Mary worked for me several years ago and was an outstanding employee. She was always ahead of the pack with her work ethic.  Mary will be missed by many, inclusing myself. Jim Seals

My condolences to the family. Continue to rely on God during this difficult time and know that he hears prayers : Isaiah 59 : 1

To the Family: May the God of all comfort grant you peace during these difficult times. Ps.83:18.

You are free my friend! Thank you for your guidance and your example of unconditional love.

Mary Frances was a really  wonderful person.  Beautiful inside and out.  We had so much fun as teenagers and good friends as well as loving cousins.  We had wonderful adventures when she used to come and spend summers in Plaquemine.  Hide and seek in the graveyard, seances in the graveyard games at home and Mrs. Sullivan's house.  Riding around and having our silly teenage girl things that we did.   When I got my engagement ring I was in my living room showing it to my mama and Mary Frances appeared at the front door and we laughed and cried together.  She was the first person after my mother to see my ring.  There was never a time when we were together that we weren't laughing and having a great time.  I am so sorry to have lost her when I was so excited about her moving back to Baton Rouge.  My love and prayers are with all of y'all in this your time of grief and sadness.

My love and Prayers,
Mary Beth Lorio Zimmerman

What wonderful pictures and memories -  all good, they made me smile.  I'll miss her everyday.  My wonderful cousin who seemed like a sister.  So happy that we were able to visit and bring in the New Year together.

I wish I could have spent more time with Mary Frances and gotten to know her better.  The short fleeting visits we had were a treasure and will live on in my heart.  I was fortunate to have such a sweet, kind, generous cousin.  Mary Frances will be greatly missed by everyone.

Love and Deepest Condolences,

Beryl
