'Til we meet again, my friend! Thanks for all you did for me during my bout with cancer. You were my inspiration and pillar of strength. I would have never gotten through as graciously as I did without your lead. I will never ever forget you!! To John, whom I have never met, but heard so much about thru Fran, thanks for being the best brother ever to our friend. She was so blessed to have you every step of the way!

I was so sorry to learn of Fran's passing. We were reacquainted in recent years when the Holy Cross girls of our childhood gathered for lunch a few times. It was lovely to see her again and everyone exchange childhood stories and catch up.
She was a great girl and will be miss my many.
I send her brother my sympathy on this great loss.

My dear friend Fran, a person who will never be forgotten. I have never met anyone who was so giving, thoughtful, kind, loving and always there for you. You will be thought of daily and spoken of for years to come. My friend, until we meet again. John, I am so sorry for your loss. We at Pepper have lost a great friend, loyal and wonderful woman. I know the pain you are going through and I hope all of the great memories help you at this time. Debbie
