Frances epitomized the great women of South Dakota. A brave and
resourceful woman who never let a challenge defeat her. She was very
special and always took time to speak to me whenever I came home. A
lovely, lovely lady.

Dear Ed and Family,
We were so sorry to hear about Frances. We have good memories over the
years that we lived in Philip, when she would share her special talents that God
Gave her. We have the book that she wrote and one of her many rugs that
she wove on her loom and will definitely remember her love for the dance floor.
Please know that Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Ed and your lovely
family. Stay close and comfort each other with the many loving memories
that you have of all the special times you had together with Frances.
God Bless,
Dave and Cheryl

Ed and family--My sympathy to you all. I really enjoyed knowing Frances
the later years when we would get together for quilting or watching her weave
rugs. We had a lot of fun celebrating her birthday one year, as well as
playing pitch. She is one of my good memories of Milesvillle.

Ed and Boys, We are so sorry to hear about Aunt Fran, but know she has gone
home to the Lord and all of our loved ones. We can be assured that she is
having quite a homecoming with them all, and that they are all in His presence.
We will keep you all in our prayers...it was lovely to see Grandpa's poem with
her obituary!
With our love and thoughts, we will be thinking of you all, Jackie, Jan, and
Jill

Frances was such an accomplished person. So dedicated to history and
exciting the young people about it. She and Ed created a video of living
in the early years with their grandchildren dressed for the part and learning
about lamp cleaning, cooking on the wood range and hearth cooking. She
also left a picture history of the family as they grew, in hand tooled photo
albums made with love. She taught dancing in town and country schools,
gave demonstrations on wheat grinding and making bread. The list is too
much to list. She fully deserved the recognition received in her life.
