Frances B. Anderson
Nate & Family, Fran was a first-rate person and I've enjoyed her friendship for nearly 10 years. I realize this is a bittersweet time for your family, but this is one of many reasons Fran became a Christian. She is in Heaven! Finally!!! A far better place than we are now. While it is important to remember her friendship and how her generosity benefited us all, we should especially take to heart her example of service to others. Fran's work here on earth is done, but ours is not. We all have more to give to glorify God. Christ died for us. Died to take away our sins. So when we die, we know we will live with Him for Eternity! She has been looking forward to this opportunity for many years. May God continue to bless you in this sad, but joyous time! This is truly a time to celebrate Fran's life on earth and her triumphant entry into Heaven!

Nate and Family, Nate, your emails of the last days were so precious and heartwarming. I feel like I know and love you through the privilege of standing with you and others in prayer these last days. Fran was a Woman of the Word---powerful in intercession, powerful in her gift of teaching. I was blessed by her influence. She was a strong warrior for Christ and Beloved of the Lord. The Lord's blessings, love and comfort to you and yours as your carry on the legacy while your mother rejoices in the arms of her Beloved. In Him, Janet [A fellow sojourner with Fran.]

Frannie was my best friend and I miss her dearly. We had the most fun on Friday nights and Saturdays digging thru the "stuff" in the thrift shops. I can still see her and Gracie coming over and we just had a good time together with my girls. We had transplanted all of my flowers into her back yard so she could enjoy the pretty flowers while getting better. That was not to be. The last time that Fran called me she told me that she had just had the transplant and did not feel any different. That was the last time she spoke to me. Fran, I know that you are in a better place, but I still miss you terribly. God Bless you, Fran! You were the best! Linda
