I cannot go to Gatlinburg without remembering a trip that I took with Frances, Frances’s best friend, my Maw Maw Claudia Hardy, and Gina Boswell. We all slept in one room. The first morning we woke up in Gatlinburg Frances was sitting up wide awake & she said “I was up all night praying for daylight. I couldn’t get a bit of sleep over all y’all snoring.” It’s been a standing joke that we laughed over every time we recalled our memories from Gatlinburg. I’m grateful for Frances. And grateful my Maw Maw such an exceptional, loyal friend.
They were neighbors, travel buddies, confidantes, and sisters. And if you were lucky enough to be one of their kids/grands/great-grands, then you were loved unconditionally. Frances, was loved immensely. And she will be missed by all who knew her.
