My Dear and greatly loved Sister,
Frances Anne {Bateman} Powell
left this world on July 10, 2007
Age 58




We've just lost our sister
How can that be
Too young to be gone
And leave her family


Five brothers, five sisters
Her Mom and three children
And grandchildren too
My heart goes out to them


I'm trying to think
That she's much better now
She's no longer sick
But I can't stop the sorrow


Big sister to me
Quite a bit older
Looked up to her then
An example and molder


Grew up and left home
To get married too young
Had two lovely daughters
And a handsome strong son


We'll all miss her here
But she'll see Dad in Heaven
We have to go on
Even with this large burden


Try to see her with God
In a Heavenly Home
Pray her soul up to Heaven
So she's never alone




We'll always miss you, Fran
