In life, the highest tribute is the imprint that a person makes upon others.. Frances through her grace, smile and presence definitely reflected the image of Christ and what He wished us to be to each other. She was a blessing to me and to Harry and all who knew her. My deepest sympathy to you Bo and Susan especially… I know what she meant to you and how you miss her. She’s only a prayer away. Love you both, Barbara
I am so sorry that I will be unable to attend, I had a business trip scheduled leaving Saturday to spend an extra day with my daughter in Chicago.

As I read below, there is indeed no greater tribute than the imprint one makes on others. Charles and Frances have impacted my family, my life and my spirit in countless ways for so many years. I am so sorry for the loss of such a dear woman. She will be loved forever by so many…
Susan, you are in my thoughts and prayers. You took such good care of your mother. She was very lucky to have you as a daughter.
