Frances was loved by all who knew her and her Love for our Lord was always shown in her life. Our prayers are with the family and I know that Heaven will seem more like home to you now with her there to greet you when you leave this world…
Leslie Jones-Eagle says
Ms. Frances was such a beautiful & sweet Christian Lady! She was a dear friend of my parents & part of our extended family. She would always be sitting in church with Nell talking loud thinking she was whispering. She would always try to get a word in with Aunt Opal & my mom. (good luck) We were Blessed with wonderful strong-willed Christian ladies in our lives. She was always so proud of her family. May God give you strength, comfort & peace during this difficult time. I am sure she was greeted with arms wide open with Him & family. We all are praying for you all.
Love in Christ,
Chris, Leslie, & our Eagle Family
