My thoughts and prayers are with all of you today and in the time ahead as you say goodbye to Frances, and miss her. Frances was an inspiration to me, as one of your babysitters when you were a housefull of little ones, and I especially remember the hymnbook by your beds so she could sing you to sleep. Your family is a beautiful tribute to the life she lived in faith. May you feel the strong, gentle arms of God embracing you, as they are holding her, now and forever.
