Leave a tribute for Frances Cornett Conley.
I can still recall the old times when we would come up to visit and stay overnight. I couldn't hardly wait for supper or breakfast because I knew it was going to be some good eating!!! It just seems like those Cornett gals sure knew how to cook. The many games of Monopoly we played while your mother and mine were catching up on the latest. Oh how I miss those days and how I miss Aunt Fran. I'm glad that God gave her so many years, she had to be a blessing to you all. All the sisters are together again now sitting in the presence of our Savior, Jesus Christ where they will never be sad again and joy will fill their souls. I just found out today about her passing. I'm sorry for your loss and I know she will be missed very much.
