Along life's way, we meet many people. Some of those we meet are a fleeting hello and some leave lasting impressions on you for the rest of your life. I met Mr. and Mrs Skelton so long ago I cannot remember when. They were and have always been a part of my life. They were my parents's (Ernest and Mary Kate Housewright Persinger) friends. Their Christian life had an impact on me. I am sorry you have to go through this. We lost our Mother last September. There are no words or actions that can dispel the pain. But, God's promises, his comfort and the knowledge they are in the precious arms of our Lord gives us hope. Our prayers are with you.

Mark, I am sorry to hear of the passing of your dear mother. Prayers are with you and the family. Tammy Stewart Davenport

We met Mary Francis on Spring st. in Kingsport at George and Maggie Lou Snapps home many many years ago...and have loved her ever since. She was a fine,fine lady. We are sorry for the loss of her sweet presence.

We send our sincerest condolences to the family of Mary Frances Skelton. My father's name was Maxwell Paul Dykes and my mother was Phyllis Dykes. The last time I saw Mary Frances was at Kayla Dykes' wedding. She was still full of life and loved to have fun. May God comfort you as only He can. Remember He is closest to the brokenhearted. Rejoice in knowing she is with Jesus now walking on those streets of gold and singing in pure joy. We are looking forward to that joyous reunion with her in heaven one day. Love and prayers to those she left behind. Remember she is waiting to see you all in heaven one day.

Frances was a dear, dear friend, the older sister I never had and a 2nd mother. We had some great times, lots of laughs. I love her so much and simply can't imagine life without her. I thank God she now has a brand new body, she is with Alvin, William and her mama and daddy and she is no longer suffering. Love and prayers for the family.
