Not sure what to say?

On behalf of Catholic Charities, I would like to express my sincere condolences to the Darley family. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing that Frances is now at peace.

Dear Steve and your family, So sorry for your loss. I never met your mom but she had to be wonderful to create such a super human like you. Thoughts are with you and replaying in my mind how much I admired you as a classmate and athlete.
Much love to your family during this time.

As a friend of Krina since high school, I had the pleasure and of meeting Fran during her courtship with Bill. She was a bright light that shined on his grief & helped him through. He learned to love, live & laugh again & I’m sure all who knew him had Fran to thank. God bless you Fran.

You will be missed sweet lady. Say hello to himself for us when you meet him up there. All our love. The O’Sheas

Dear Trankina and Darley Families
We have lost a great light, full of fun, faith and love. I will always remember your Mom Roller Skating down Forest Ave (her favorite mode of transportation) to have a visit with my mom, Barb. She was such a warm, caring and loving person. Our heart- felt sympathies to all of you. We will keep all of you in our prayers. With Love, Lorrie and Mike Nelson

You will greatly be missed Aunt Fran. You always made a point to come up and talk to me whenever you saw me at family gatherings and that meant the world to me. Love you.

Diane, I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing!! She is out of pain, and she is an angel that is looking over you!! My sympathies/condolences to you and your family in the time of sorrows. With Love Always, Jaret

I remember both Fran and Bill as I had conversations with them, when they spent time with my parents, Richard and Marilyn Ver Halen. Always so kind and caring. My sincerest and deepest sympathies to you all. You family is in my thoughts.
