Dear Dan and Jim,
I was so sorry to hear of Fran's passing. We we had known sooner. I can't begin to tell you how much of an influence she had on who I am today. She was one of a kind.
Best to all,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Fran was an inspiring force who showed me that anything is possible. I learned what advocacy truly meant by watching her. She will be missed.

Dan and Jim,
This is a significant loss to all in our family, as well as yours. Our mother's shared a friendship for over 45 years and when our mom was sick, Fran was a great inspiration to her. She was tough, fair, and cared for the less fortunate like no other, you should be proud of what she accomplished, and we should all try to emulate her and her passion for helping others.
God Bless,
Mark Graziano and Family.

May you rest in peace after all the wondeful things you have done for so many. The Hesenius Family especially appreciated the way you cared for Nana & Ba when we were away in California from 1960-62, and when Nana was later alone. My late mother always enjoyed her visits from and conversations with you, and I myself am especially grateful for the tremendous catering you provided for my parents' 35th...which party wwas 47 years ago this very afternoon!!! You were extremely busy at this very hour! :)
Please pray for all of us still on earth, and may the Holy Spirit inspire each of us to evermore follow your volunteer spirit.
With great love and affection,
Ann Hesenius

Dan, Lori and Jim:
Longtime neighbors and family friends.
Your Mom was such an integral part of growing up. She had the BEST parties for "kids" of all ages. She cared deeply for her family, friends, neighbors and her community. She was a loving and special woman. She taught me how to knit. The world is a little less bright with out her. She will live on in the hearts and memories who knew her. She touched so many lives. May she rest in peace and may you be comforted by the love you share and the memories.
With our deepest sympathies,
The Horn Family (Arthur, Susan, Daniel, Jennifer and our families)
