To Carri and the family of Fran Briggs:

You know that we were very close to Fran. Since we moved last December, we have talked with her by phone several times. Lena Gates called this morning with the sad and surprising news.

We regret that we cannot be at the service for Fran Friday, but please know that we will pray for you all on Friday and for one year as you mourn the lady who loved you all so very much.

If you wish to contact us, we are at 3128 Silver Maples Drive, Chelsea, MI 48118 (734-433-0548 or [email protected]).

Sincerely,
