I didn't get to spend much time with my Aunt Frances but I miss her, all the same. Janet, remember when you came to my Dad's wedding several years ago, Leon (Marty Martin)? I was so surprised to see you and your Mom there. And since I had not seen you two in years, I was shocked at how much she looks like her Mother, my Aunt Cecil. Wow! I will be thinking about you during your next few weeks of getting on with your lives. God blessed you with a great person, Your Mom.
Love,
Your cousin, Marsha Martin Goetz
Daughter of Marty Martin
Granddaughter of Gladys Martin (sister of Cecil Kennedy)

Frances was a Mother to so many more people than the kids she gave birth to. She took everyone in. If you pants were dirty she would give you a towel take your pants and shirt if need be to wash and dry them. If you had a button that was loose or a rip in your clothes she would sew it up. And the crazy thing was you just stopped by to say HI. You could always find a warm meal and a welcoming smile at her house. The world is such a better place because Frances was here. What we have lost here on earth Heaven has gained. We will miss you.

Gary, Janet, Charlie, and Julie,
You are all in my heart and my prays at this time. I know that words are not enough and I also know that time does not make it better but it does help a little. There will not be a day that goes bye with out you thinking of you mom. She will always be with you.
I know we havent seen much of each other since we moved back to Texas, but yall are through of quit often. Family is still family. I am so glad that Jackie and I got to see Aunt Frances on her birthday when we were up there three years ago. Your mom said we had just missed all of you. We did go over to Charlies house but he was not at home. We will see each other again someday.
Just remember that you mom was greatly loved as yall are.
Love always,
Jane

I would like to send my condolences to the family. Frances was a cousin to my father David Foust, but frances was like an aunt to me and i always introduced her as my aunt. I did not know Loraine personaly, but i did know Bud and i always enjoyed visiting with them when they would come to my parents house. Frances will be missed by all who knew her.

Aunt Frances has always been in my heart from the time Uncle Loraine pulled us up that hill on the rope attacked to the back end of the car on that snowy day and made me believe in snow. she was always elegant and full of heart. She will remain apart of me along side my mother who welcomes her into the world of the Lord.
All my love,
Jack Jr.
