    Very sorry to hear that Frances has passed. We were close in age and got married around the same time. I saw her often when I lived with my Aunt. Glad we saw her at the last family reunion. We are losing too many people. I will be there Saturday.

    My condolences to you all. I carry many fond memories of your mother’s life, and her restaurant (enchiladas were my favorite). Aunt Frances was kind, loving, nurturing, and always calm. I’m sorry for your loss.

    My condolences my heart breaks for you all. May God wrap His arms around you & give you peace?? Being around Ms Frances there was always a calmness to her spirit but when we were young the stern way Ms Frances would yell “Maria De Jesus” always made us SoulSisters laugh uncontrollably. She will be missed here on this earth but I know she’s cooking it up in heaven?
