Sally, Bobbi and Tom-
What a treasure you have lost; I am so very sorry. Your Mum was a very dear friend to our Mum, and so good to all of us. John adored going to your house for her great cooking (actual meals) and her red velvet cake! I think of her, and smile, when I see someone with creased jeans! She was a fabulous lady- with southern graces and a fair amount of southern sass! I am sorry for your sadness. I wish you peace. Love, Tibbi

Sally,
It takes a special person to be a good mom, but it takes an even more special person to be the mom of a great child. You are proof of your mother's great character.
Children and grandchildren continue the legacy their mothers begin. Your mother has built a strong legacy that I know will continue on.

Our deepest condolences,

Cindy Strickler and the Frantz family
