All of my memories of Frances are very, very positive! She was such a kind, loving person with a caring heart for all. Everyone was welcome in her home. Jimmy Pete and I were the best of friends and I visited her home frequently. I remember seeing her at the 50th Gary High Class reunion. She was young at heart with a smart phone and was on Facebook! We send our love and sympathy to the Blasher extended family. May the comfort and blessed assurances of our Lord and Savior be with you.

Mom Blasher was the queen of her family. She was good and kind, gentle, patient, thoughtful, wise, generous, fervent in prayer, long suffering, forgiving, faithful and strong. She enjoyed life, learning and loving. Her life has shaped mine over these 21 years. I think of you every day. You are with me in my heart. You always will be. I love you.
