Our prayers and sympathy to Frances’ family. She always had a smile and kind word for everyone she met. She will be missed.
To all the Trebon , Buck, and Allen families my deepest condolences. As a child I always enjoyed going to Uncle Bob and Aunt Frances farm. With all us kids, there was always enough to play some sort of game. With 8 kids and a farm to take care of. Bob and Frances were always happy to have family over. I miss the days of the family events and going fishing at the campsite. Simpler times indeed. Everyone is in my thoughts and prayers. She is with God and her family in heaven. God be with us all.
