Condolences

    So sorry to hear of your loss. We enjoyed Frances so much at the pool hall and pinochle card room here in Yuma Arizona . I have so many of the wonderful crochet slippers that she enjoyed making. I treasure them and think of her every time I put them on. She was so generous and even made a pair for my sister and friend back home. Ralph loved to tease her and she always fired right back 😆 May you be comforted in the wonderful memories you have. Hugs and love to family. Betty and Ralph Johnson
