Karen, My thoughts and prayers are with you and
your family at this time, your mom taught me so
much about love and I will always cherish the time
we spent at your home during Christmas with my
grandchildren- she truly explained the real
meaning of Christmas to the kids - I feel very
blessed to have met an angel on earth!

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. Frances. She was one of my favorite people and so was Pastor Lethcoe. We are members of Virginia Avenue Baptist in Bristol and always loved to see them visit. Mrs. Frances & I had a shared love of angels. I never got to see her angels in person, but she told me of the ones she loved and why. And she loved telling me that she had angels in her bathroom. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I loved
your sweet Mother. She taught me so
much about so many things. I see
floral arrangements and think
Francis could teach that arranger
something! She was a great example
of God's love to all
