My sincere condolences to Frances' family. I worked with her at Peters Fertilizers in Allentown for 15 years. She was such a wonderful co-worker and was always pleasant. I hadn't been in touch with her since she retired many years ago, but I think of her often. She was so proud of her daughter and grandchildren. May your memories console you at this difficult time.
