What a Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong

[Verse 1]
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you

And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

[Verse 2]
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed days, the dark sacred nights

And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

[Bridge]
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces
Of people going by

I see friends shaking hands, saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying, “I love you”

[Verse 3]
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more
Than I’ll ever know

And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Husband William Gerald Warren, brothers; Jack, Sam, and Lloyd. Sisters; Edith, Kate, and Daisy. Leaving to mourn, sister Delilah Fry.
Frances was the beloved mother of Ken (Lori), Bert (Susan), and Kay (Joe). Proud grandmother of Liz (Kenny), Steve (Melissa), Lisa, Craig (Candace), Cory (Jessica), and Izzy. Frances had five great-grandchildren, Braeden, Ella, Claire, Scott, and Allison.
Frances lived a full life and if you ask, she was the best bread maker, pastry maker, and storyteller around!! All who knew her loved her dearly, they will never forget her wit, sense of humor, highly skilled knitting techniques and delicious jigs’ supper! Frances was a dedicated mother first and foremost and treasured her children while embracing every moment with them. She especially loved her role as a grandmother and played a big part in each of their lives. Making the most delicious bread they all loved, tucking them in at their many sleepovers, and kissing scrapped knees.
