Fran had wonderful, loving, Christian parents and grew up on a farm in a small East Texas town. Her Dad died when she was 11 years old. Her family got running water, an indoor bathroom, electricity, television and gas when she was 12. They got a telephone when she was 16.
Fran graduated in the top 25 % of my Senior class. took accounting in college and a course in journalism years later. She has a wonderful Christian husband whom she loves more now than the day she married him and has been blessed with 2 children (a boy and a girl).
Her husband was in the Navy the first 15 years of their marriage and they were Unequally Yoked about 13 years of that time. They lived in VA, RI, TX, MS, CO and KS. They visited about 36 other states and 2 other countries.
Fran is 73 years old now and has been married for 52 years. She has 5 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
There have been a lot of ups and downs in her life, but she was the most down when she felt like God took her out of His service and set her on a shelf. That's when God told her to write this book about her spiritual life. It was a labor of love.view less
