Dear Family, I met Fran while working for Home Instead Sr. Care. My initial reaction was 'isn't she lovely'! But not only was she physically lovely, but also in spirit as well. I was very surprised to hear of her illness and subsequent death. She truly maintained her beauty and smile to the end. She was so very happy and she told me so many times. Her cousin Mary and another Mary came to visit and we had such a wonderful time. Fran was so happy to see the Mary's and receive some lovely fresh cut flowers. I will always remember her as she was an inspiration to me to 'keep smiling'. Cousin Mary called me once to thank me for returning her video, but she didn't leave a number... please let her know that Donna is trying to reach her.

God Bless!
Donna

This is a thanks to everyone who made it out for my grandmother's services these past 2 days - and to those of you who have amazing stories to share about her. Keep 'em coming!

Nana Frannie was always so happy. She made me laugh more times than I can remember. She had such a cute bubbly way about her. I'll always remember her litterally bouncing from room to room, person to person, party to party. It's hard not to smile just thinking about her - and I hope everyone is able to feel that when remembering her.

The 8 of us grandchildren were very lucky to have her, and our grandfather, as grandparents. They were always the proud ones on the side lines, hanging artwork on the fridge, or beaming with pride while listening to our latest adventure stories as we grew up. I know we are all going to miss that energy and support, but it's so nice to know that they are together again for us.

Brad, Courtney and family,
I was saddened to hear of your mother Fran's passing. I always enjoyed visiting with her when she came to home with Ike and will always remember her wonderful smile. Please be comforted by the wonderful memories you have of your mother. Be sure to keep her memory alive for Zoe and Max.
Love,
Barbara

My warmest and deepest condolences, thoughts, and prayers go out to the Eisenhaure family upon the loss of Frances Eisenhaure. Brad and I have been friends for 20 years now, and though I now live in California I was fortunate enough to have lived in the Andover area when Brad and I first met and had the pleasure of knowing both Fran and Ike. I've got to say; they were two of the nicest, sweetest, just overall neatest people you could ever hope to meet. Fran had a smile that could light up a room, a wicked sense of humor, and was very caring and generous to all those who stopped by to visit. When you're young (in your early 20's as we were) it's not often "cool" to be hanging around with parental figures but I genuinely enjoyed sitting down with Fran and Ike whenever I would come over, while waiting for Brad to come from work or finish getting redy before we headed out. Fran would always offer me something to drink and often something to eat, and I enjoyed making small talk with both of them. It would often be humorous when Brad and I would come home after a night on the town, usually in the early morning hours, and occasionally Fran would either be up (or we would, uh, "accidentally" wake her up) but she would be there, again offering to fix us up something to eat or just there to hear about our night out. At any rate, in later years and long after Brad had moved on and started his own family, I would stop by once in awhile just to say hi to the Eisenhaures. To Fran I would say: may your spirit now be joined with the Almighty, as light and carefree as you have always been known to be. To the family and friends of Fran I would say: may we learn from Fran, and put into practice on a daily basis her compassion, her "joie de vie", her loyalty and devotion to family and friends, and when in doubt...smile. Much love to all of the Eisenhaure children...my heart goes out to you. - Rob

Ray and I wish to express our sympathy at the passing of your mother. Fran was a beautiful person, we enjoyed the many times we spent with her. We loved her stories of her life's adventures. Both Fran and "Ike" were very loving and caring parents and we are sure that they will be sadly miissed but take comfort from all the wonderful memories that they have bestowed on family and friends.

My name is Lloyd Donald and I live in Reading, MA. I am an old friend of the Eisenhaure family, especially Scott and Brad.

Scott and I were in a band together back in the 1980's and early 1990's. Scott was a fantastic guitarist and it was so much fun to "jam" together with him many times each week, both on stage and at our band practices! :)

I would like to extend my deepest condolences and love to Scott and Brad, all of the Eisenhaure family, and all of their close friends, on "Mrs. E.'s" recent passing.

She was a wonderful and caring lady who always had good things to say about everyone. She also had one of the most genuine and friendly smiles that I have ever seen. She even smiled when she let me set up my drums in her garage to let our band play for a few hours every now and then! My mother truly appreciated and enjoyed the "vacation" from the band whenever we played anyplace other than in our basement-LOL. :)

Please keep all of your happy memories of "Mrs. E." in your heart. She was truly a sweet and wonderful lady, and a great and loving mother!

With my love and best wishes to you all, especially my old friends Scott and Brad! I miss you guys very much!

With peace, respect and love,
Lloyd Donald.
