    I met Francis a short time ago while visiting Texoma Care in Sherman. The connection that takes place when believers in Jesus meet was immediate. Frances was truly salt and light in what could have been a gloomy place, and though she will be missed here on earth, I look forward to the blessing of getting to know her in Heaven one day. ~ Megan Singer, Whitewright, Texas

    God bless your family in your sorrow. My prayers are with you. Frances was an important part of my growing up years especially through the Girl Scouts. She was a dear friend and counselor to a lot of little girls. I will always cherish my Girl Scout leaders and the part in my life they played. Rest in peace, sweet friend. ~ Gail Cole, Whitesboro, Texas
