Bill, Kim & Billy:

While I am so deeply saddened by Fran's passing, I can't help but smile thinking of all great memories of time spent "across the street" with all of you, riding in the back of the wood-paneled station wagon with Fran at the wheel, and the searches for Fluffy, when he decided to go out on the town (a walk up our driveway). She was the best of neighbors, and I am thankful for having known her. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
