Frances was a very warm and wonderful person, and I have some delightful memories of her. I met Frances through ABWA as I was also a charter member of Kansas Sunflower Chapter.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Frances was among the special people in my early days at the TCJ. She was always friendly and professional. She has many who will pass on her ways. Many blessings to those who remain.
