There will always be a special place in my heart for my aunt Frances. I always looked forward to having her and Buddy come into town. I miss the days when we spent more time together as a family and as we all get older our time together is diminished. My heart breaks for Jeri, Bob, Katie and Holly. She truly was an absolute joy to be around. I will miss her dearly.
Love, Glen Jennifer Kerry and Kallie Moreland
My Aunt Frances was a wonderful person, and it was a joy to see her when as a child we visited my father’s family in AL; when she and my Uncle Buddy and Jeri Lynn lived in Texas would come to visit my mom and dad; or when me and my husband got to visit her and my Uncle Buddy in Arkansas. Years later to hear her pick up the phone and hear her voice brought back great memories. Love you Aunt Frances please give everyone a hug for me.
