    I always loved seeing this lady when she came to my store. She was always the highlight of our day. My heart goes out to Pam and the rest of the family.

    I certainly hate to hear this sad news! Ms Francis was such a Wonderful Friend! She was one of the sweetest ladies and always was ready to hear an update on our family! I loved her very much and will be praying for her children, including Eric & John, and all their families! Also the remainder of family and all her many friends! Please let Debby and I know if we can do anything! Love!
