Aunt Frances and I would play Rummy. I confess, I cheated. When I kept beating her she said, "How did you do that?" I couldn't lie to her, so I told her, "I can see your cards in your glasses." She said, "You little stinker!" Then she took her glasses off and started winning.

Dear Frank, Judy and Jackie, We send our love and prayers to you at this difficult time. Aunt Frances was our father's adoptive "Mother". He loved her like a mother. He has spoken so highly of her our whole lives. Her patience, laughter and quiet approach to life gave him the guidance and love he needed. We are thankful that we had the opportunity to know her and love her too. We are thinking of you, Love from Kirsti, Scott, Elise and Kyle Smith.

Frances was a joy to be around. Mom and I went to her sister Jeanie's funeral a few years ago and we stayed with Frances and Judy. My Mom is Frances's sister(Susan), my aunt. After every meal Frances always wanted dessert. We were sitting at the table one night and Frances had gone to sit in her chair in the living room. I said to Mom and Judy, I bet Frances wants her dessert. Right after I said that, Frances says pretty loud, "What's for dessert?" It cracked me up. She had such a great sense of humor and she said funny things when she didn't even know it. We will dearly miss her and I know she is in a better place and is in no pain. God Bless her.
