    Judy and family,
    So sorry to hear the loss of Francis. I had just asked a friend about her recently . Lots of great memories of her at Grider when Barry and I attended church there even before we were married. Time doesn’t stand still and difficult to let them go but so thankful of HIS promise that we will see them again. Love you all and prayers for you and your family.

    Judy and family, l just read about Francis. I’m sorry l know you’ll miss her tremendously’. She’ll always live in your sweet heart Judy. Francis was such a kind lady. She always greeted me at church and wherever we might be with the sweetest smile and so genuine. I’ll never forget the Sunday at church when she was behind me and l didn’t know. She touched my back. I turned around and saw the kindest smile. Take care. Love Wanda
