“Frances was a tall, strong and skilled sister, and was one of our singles who had no other relatives in Jonestown. Plain-spoken, honest and direct, she was very well liked and trusted, got along with everyone, and was an enthusiastic participant in Temple projects. In Jonestown, Frances worked in the sew/decorate/mend shop, was a cottage supervisor, and a hairdresser for the residents. In January 1978, she was one of a dozen selected to go to the Peoples National Congress meeting to represent the Agricultural Project. Personable, articulate, and knowledgeable, with excellent judgment, she was a great ambassador for us. Dear Frances, we so could not afford to lose you. You had too much life left to live. Rest in peace, sister. You were beautiful. Always missed and remembered.” - Kathryn Barbour
