Dear Vince and family- sorry for your loss in Fran's passing. As I type this I am reminded Fran was one of the most competent and dedicated TD I've ever had the pleasure to work with. To this day I still compare other TD's against her skills and dedication to her craft; not many compare. Try and realize the darkest hours do get lighter and all who knew her will miss her.

Vince and family, I was so sorry to read of Fran's passing. I enjoyed working with Fran and Vince at Channel 4 and I remember the many dinners we shared after the 6 pm. newscasts. I am glad that we remained friends and shared Christmas cards and other announcements after all these years. Vince, I wish you peace in the midst of your sorrow. May God blessed the entire family. Fran, may you rest in peace.

What a shock to hear this news. Fran was already working at KSDK (KSD) when I arrived in 1979. She was a friend and IBEW sister who opened the door that allowed the rest of us to walk through. It wasn't easy back then but her friendship and calm demeanor were guideposts. My deepest sympathies to her family.

Fran was instrumental in getting O'Fallon Township Marching Panther Band on air which led to numerous invites to march in VP Parade, Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and numerous others. She was a great lady.

I'm so very sad. She was an amazing woman who shattered one of broadcasting's glass ceilings. In addition, she was a wonderful friend. May her memory be a blessing.
