Fran, I'm sure Sheniele was so happy to see you! Ann and family your mom was truly an Angel long before her time. She blessed and loved so many while she was at 1291. Even after people left , and went to other stores Fran always remembered and welcomed them with open arms.Her love for everyone she met was wonderful. She touched my life when 1291 was at Pantano and Broadway. Ashley, now 26 was about to be born, she couldn't wait to meet her. Every since that moment my life was blessed .She was an amazing woman, I feel for each and every one of us who will deeply miss her. Ann, I love you! If you ever need me I am always here for you .

Fran was a mentor to me at 1291....So I thought, she became like a very dear family member in my heart. She helped me learn and grow , as my family was back east, but she always was looking out for me. Thank you Fran!

Fran was the first person I met when I came to the Speedway Walmart, which shows what a friendly person she was. The amazing thing was that we found out I had worked with her sister in law at the Florida Walmart I transferred from.

Condolences to Frans family. She was a wonderful, funny lady, and told stories that would crack me up, I had to keep it down at work. I, and a few other elder ladies, would get together, and go out to dinner all the time. I sure miss those times. My husband and I went and visited Fran at the Assistant living, and so glad we did. She remembered both of us and said to come on in.she was happy to see us. She asked about work, and I told her work was good, and we had became a Super market and it was big and beautiful. She asked how we were. She's was so loving and she woll be one if my Angels. I loved her so much. I will miss her dearly.
