The church has lost a good member, the community a good neighbor, the children a kind mother, husband and good companion. May the all seeing Eye ever watch over, guard and protect her loved ones until they gather in the green fields of God's love, where the blessings shall be as the dew upon mown grass and the rainbow will give her color so birth and clear that we never will fear death or sorrow but will be caught with wonder and amazement of God's wondrous love. - Donna's Note: Her stone has the male spelling of Frances and given on the male side of the stone which could be confusing to researchers.
