    I am so sorry about Miss Francis' passing. I've known her since our KDMC business office days.
    My mother, Miss Francis and I used to go to Canton's flea market together. Such a sweet lady.
    Hated that I lost track of her when Diversicare closed to the public due to COVID. She was kind
    and had a fun sense of humor. Her presence in this world will be missed by many.
