So Sorry to hear that we have lost a beautiful lady. Every memory of her is stellar. She was the soul of generosity and kindness. It was always so nice for Gordon and me to be with Frances and Edwin. They loved their family dearly and we loved them. My deepest sympathy. June Heim. june_heim90@comcast.net
