To Fran's Family,
Fran was the most thoughtful and considerate person I ever dealt with at Verizon. Her kindness kept me a frequent rehire at the company.
Please God welcome her in your kingdom. May she rest in peace.

I worked at All Com Credit Union and
always enjoyed when Frances would come in for the monthly Board of
Directors meetings. Frances was a warm, kind fun loving business woman, she will be deeply missed.
Rest in peace my friend!
