Leave a tribute for Frances L. Dellinger.
My heart is broken for you girls and grandchildren I was so blessed to have been her daughter in law but I am at peace knowing she is back with her boys sending prayers and love going miss you momma Francis
Our prayer are with your family during this special time. Please except our condolences, we were next door at Grace heights ( room 123). Frances was a highschool classmate at oak Hill. Also knew Johnny during school. Here family were special people. Reba and Van ask Gods blessing.
We would like to send our condolences for Aunt Francis she will be missed.
She-She, I hope during this time you find happiness in the memories of your mom and the love you all share. I hope you comfort in the arms of your family and know that you are thought of. Love!
I'm so sorry to hear about Francis. She was a very sweet lady that I met years ago when I was about 17. She and Ronnie were operating The Cheese and Wine shop. I loved going there to get sub sandwiches. How ironic that I was taking a sub sandwich to my sister in law for lunch when I heard of her passing. We will be praying for peace and comfort during this difficult time. Love Y'all Harvey & Melody Chapman
