The family would like to express special thanks to Dr. Larry Sasaki and Krista Nippers, Dr. Robert Massingill and his staff, and the 2nd floor nurses and Cindy at Highland Hospital. Also we would like to thank her special friends, Pinky Scogin, Christy Edwards and Terry Tyler for all the love and care shown to Frances. She was very blessed to have these wonderful friends in her life. The family suggests, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
