Frances C. Waller

She was cherished by her family and all that knew her. She has left a legacy of love, compassion and concern for others. She never met a stranger and the lives she may have touched are countless. Through her singing, praying, storytelling, joking and cooking she showed her family all the love she had to give beyond compare. She saw the best in people and in turn brought out the best. Her hands were a road map of her hardwork she put into her life. She was a true angel among us. Through our faith as a family in the Lord Jesus Christ, we will see our beloved Frances Waller again.
