To the family, my condolences. Cousin Frances was always there welcoming for a visit. She was very talented: tailoring, knitting, writing, baking. Cousin Frances was an avid reader and gardener (flowers). I remember visiting her and John, especially during the summertime, we (Louis and I) would sit on their porch with them talking for hours about our family and their childhood memories. Cousin Frances and John they talked! It was my pleasure to listen. I miss those days on their porch and all the times both of them would greet me with big, welcoming smiles. With love, Cousin Kathy.
