I knew Fran while she worked at Canteen. Her perpetual smile always brightened the cafeteria. As one of her 'customers', it was primarily she that we missed seeing when our cafeteria closed.

RIP Fran

Thinking of you tonight and all of the times we were together. Remembering all the camping trips, where we used to go over to your campsite to get all of the "good food." It was on one of those trips that Jason taught me how to shuffle cards. I hope you're getting the chance to play cards with Jason again. Love to your family as we await our turn to be reunited with you both.

Fran, I will always remember what fun all of us had at the lake. And Sally and Molly had so much fun together! And you and Les always came to family functions, including my daughter's wedding. You will always be remembered for the kindness you showed to our family. You will be missed.
