I'm so very sorry to read about the death of Frances. So much of my childhood years in Pampa were spent playing over at Earl and Frances house with Steve and Rusty. My thoughts and prayers will be with the family as you grieve over the loss of Frances. With all my Love! Eddy Hopkins
Eddy And Nola Hopkins - Friend

I am a little younger than Frances...the Silcott Family is the "further-est back" remembrance of people I knew as a child. Frances and her sisters and I shared school experiences and then we worked together for "Ma Bell". Years later she and Earl moved to Arkansas. I was always glad to be included in those called to "get together" when Frances was "in town". Good Memories!!
