Little did I knew that morning that God was going to call your name. You tried to tell us that you were leaving, and now things will never be the same. Heaven couldn't wait

for you so the angels came. In life we loved you dearly, in death it will remain. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you will always be by our side. Our family chain is broken, nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. Love you, your little sis...

Sis, since you passed away life just hasn't been the same I would move heaven and earth to have you here with me again The time that we spent together meant the world to me, your laughter and your precious smile as we grew up so happily

I'm so grateful for the years we had and wish that we had more time to share Your heart, so kind and thoughtful I always knew you truly cared I miss you dearly I've lost a very special friend You were more than just my family,

my love for you will never end Heaven couldn't wait for you...

Your loving sister,

Francier Priscilla Manuel, known as Frances, was born to the parentage of Ida Mae Manuel on November 21, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. She attended T.

D. Marshall and Clara Oliver Elementary Schools. She also attended Boude Storey Middle School and South Oak Cliff High School. Frances loved people and her employment with the health agencies showed this. She was currently employed with Humana Health Insurance Company. Frances was such a beautiful baby and was given the nickname Princess but her siblings could only say Chincess. The nickname was later shortened to Chin which she did not like but it stuck with her by many of her cousins.

Frances was a spirited and loving person who was an exceptional cook. She had every cooking gadget that was on the market and used every one of them. She loved fashion and always dressed to empress. Frances loved to sing, a voice she got from her mom, and oh, her laughter was one to be remembered. Frances accepted Christ at an early age. She was baptized at Greater St James Baptist Church where the late Rev. Jesse Borns Jr. was the pastor. Later she united with Temple Missionary Baptist Church where the late Rev. E. L. Burrell was the pastor. Frances was a faithful member of the choir. Frances is preceded in death by her mother, Ida Mae Manuel and her grand mother (Madea), Annie Mary Manuel. Frances leaves to cherish her memory her Sister, Tina Marie Manuel, two brothers David Lynn Manuel, Charles Ellis Manuel, uncle, Willie (Ruby) Manuel, aunts, Katherine Manuel Langley and Darlene Manuel, Niece/ daughter, Retanya Dunbar, special nephew Charles A Manuel, special cousin, Debra Hall; four nieces and nephews; seven great nieces and nephews; and a host of cousins, extended family and friends.

From the time that I was born, you loved me and cared for me as your own Lucky for me I was always your "sweetie", even after I was grown Like a mother that I need it, my Scorpio twin, my auntie boo Always there whenever I called, always the listening ear from you I find myself so angry and just trying to understand I must admit I'm struggling with it, though I'm doing the best I can I know you're next to granny and y'all want me to be Okay But you not being here is devastating, I just don't know what to say I'm glad you're not suffering, at least that's what everyone says I should feel But I'm missing you like crazy if I'm honest and being real I promise to keep going because you always told me you are so proud of me I want to continue succeeding even though you're not here to see I can't see what happens after this life but no question, you're an angel and you're with our father So until I see you again, I love you and I miss you, your "sweetie". Your Surrogate Daughter,

Frances, as I try to sleep at night the tragedy serves to remind me of how fragile life is and that we can never know what tomorrow will bring. The lesson you showed me during this time is to appreci- ate the little everyday things of life and never take anyone or any- thing for granted. Frances, I will always remember your laughter and sweet voice: You have left the world of sorrow and are free from pain and harm, now rest in peace and comfort in the blessed Savior's arms. I will miss you dearly. Love you more,

Words can not describe the loss I feel saying farewell to you. But heaven chose to give you wings and now its time for you to fly away. I wish that we could have more time that God would let you stay. Forever would be long enough but I would take one day. I wish I had just one more chance to see that tender smile and to laugh with you again. You are gone too soon but not forgotten. Forever you will remain in my heart. Until I see your face again,

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me". Although I loved you dearly I could not make you stay. God broke my heart to prove to me he only takes the best. Love, (cousin)

Frances, I can't believe you're gone. Your passing leaves a heartache no one can heal and a love no one can steal. I will treasure all the times we spent together and will miss them dearly. Love,

Frances, your life was a blessing and your memory was a treasure. You're loved beyond words and missed beyond treasures. I love you and will miss you so much rest in heavenly peace.

Love,

Momma Frances, it was hard to hear you are gone forever and my heart is broken. I will miss you and love you always. ,

Don't grieve for me now, I'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work or play Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too shall miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow; I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full; I've savored much; Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief; Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me; God wanted me now - He set me free.
