"I was startled to hear of Frances' death. While on the farm, Alfred, Alice, Frances and Lavon were our neighbors just across the road. Later, in Scribner, once again we were neighbors just across the street; first Alfred and Alice, then Frances and Kenny. Went to church and Sunday school with the Schafers. My sympathies to each. Death ends a Life but Not a Relationship, so you can "talk" to your folks Forever......heartfelt, Larry Moeller"

"Aunt Frances was one of the nicest, warmest people I was able to share life with. There are so many great memories and conversations that will always bring a smile to my face. When I look at the Bear I will smile and remember our last coversation as if it was just yesterday. You are missed by those left behind, but I know you are with Uncle Kenny again in a better place. Nancy, Diane, Randy and Karen the four of you are in my thoughts and prayers always."
