Frances.

So it has been a very intersting few weeks since i last posted,my dear friend Frances died on the 19th january aged 94! she was such an inspiration to me, and yes i did cry when i found out she had died, not like Andrew and Lexie, who jumped and praised for joy that she had gone home to be with her Saviour!!!...I know i will see her again,she is singing with the Angels now and would not wish herself back! I having been trying to sum up her influence in my life over the past week, i really can't quantify it,we went to a weekly prayer meeting,all day,we would pray for everyone we knew, those in need, and while Frances was not the loudest most talkative of the women,i really wanted to hear her input more than anyone elses,i guess i could call her my spiritual mother, and while she had no natural children, at her funeral i met some of her spiritual daughters, who will bless the Lord for her life till the day we die, and hope to be to younger women even a small part of what she was to us. There were other older women in the group,who i was friends with,but looking back at their influence, and example,they were nowhere up to her standard. An instance would be, one of them (Dot) said that Frances although a Missionary never actually helped the Indians or Nepalalese, i learned at ther funeral that she delivered many Babies to the Indian women, (she told me herself she cleaned out the " latrines" herself too).So the difference is that the women who said nasty thngs about Frances were nasty about others, even Me, who was supposed to be their friend!!, SHE never said a bad word about anyone!
