Dear Bill, Linda, & family,
I just read of your mom’s passing. What a sweet, warm-hearted person Frances was. Every time I came back to Millersville she and your dad would greet me with such a warm smile. I was always encouraged by her quiet and tender love for the Lord. May God encourage you as you remember your parents’ wonderful legacy. With warm hugs,
