Frances crocheted most of her life, a lot of her friends and family received her beautiful handmade afghans. Over the years she made lovely craft items. The last few years one of her joys was crocheting baby blankets for the Lioness Program.

You try to remember all the good times,
but sadness still surrounds you.
So you stay strong for all around you,
and you stay thankful for all the
people you still have with you.
You will be missed Grandma!
