Fran is such a wonderful memory from my childhood. Her smile is something I will always remember. My prayers to the McFarlan family.

I FIRST MET FRAN WHEN JOYCE AND I WORKED FOR COMPASSIONATE CARE AND WE WOULD COME AND CLEAN FOR HER EVERY OTHER WEEK. OVER THE YEARS, I GOT TO KNOW A VERY BEAUTIFUL AND LOVING WOMAN AND WAS VERY PROUD TO HAVE HER AS MY FRIEND. WHEN I STOPPED WORKING FOR THE COMPANY I WOULD STILL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH HER BECAUSE I JUST LOVED THAT WOMAN. SHE WAS SO SO SWEET. I WILL MISS HER SOFT VOICE AND BEAUTIFUL SMILE.REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND. LINDA GACEK
