Ms. May, we did not meet in this life though I feel I know much about you and your love for our Lord through your charism of religious art. Thank you for ministering God's love in such a beautiful way. We have gifted your work and also have several in our home, "Mary with the Child Jesus" and "Child Reaching to Touch the Face of God." We look upon the "Risen Christ" behind the altar at every Catholic Charismatic Center Mass. I am always very excited when I see other works by you. They reveal the depth of your faith and communion with our Savior, Christ Jesus who lives and reigns with the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. May your soul rest in His divine mercy and love eternally.

Dearest Fran, You, are my inspiration. I miss you so very much. You were a true friend. You asked me once if I thought maybe our group of artists in class, were tired of hearing your love for Christ. I told you from my heart, no. I told you, without words from sweet angles here in earth, how would we ever know to trust when we felt or heard our angels speak to us. I learned so very much from your expertise in pastel drawing. But, most of all I miss your friendship.
Thinking of you, your birthday July 8th, and you, just being you.
❤.... Joanna

Dearest Uncle Mike..We lost a beautiful person here on earth but heaven gained and ANGEL. Because of knowing you and Aunt Frannie, I am a better person. Although she is not here in the flesh any longer I know she is watching us from above in her new perfect body...I will never forget her smile, her laughter and mostly the way she always made me feel special and beautiful. There is a hole now that will never be filled, but knowing she is with Our Lord, family and friends that have passed is comforting. Thank you Aunt Frannie, not everyone can say they made a difference while here on earth but you can...your spirit and artwork will remain here forever and continue to be a blessing. I love you and I will be here to help take care of my precious Uncle Mike knowing you are looking down on us with a smile. XXXOOO

Mike, Fran was the dearest sister in Christ to me that I have ever had. My deepest consolation is knowing she and I are still united in Christ and that we always will be. Reminds me of that old song: "We are one in the Spirit. We are one in the Lord..." And that will never end. Bev

Mike, Fran was a friend and fellow artist. I did not know she was ill and was saddened to hear of our loss and yours. Fran was an inspiration to many local and national artists not only because of her gift of art but also the gift of her sweet spirit and life. I am thankful to know we will meet again. Judy Crowe

I know of Fran May from the Catholic Charismatic Center and her beautiful painting, "Risen Christ." She spoke about her inspiration for painting "Risen Christ," in the old St. Nicholas Charismatic Center sometime in the 1970's with Fr. Richard Paulissen as Director/Pastor.
I have the picture in my home, also, on my computer screen saver and I have given the picture purchased from the Charismatic Center bookstore to family & friends. I also send the post card of Fran's beautiful Jesus in cards of Get Well & Sympathy. God bless Fran for touching so many hearts and souls with Jesus. Prayers for her family and friends.

Dear Mike,
The Lord brought us together in 1984 - we were newlyweds in a 'foreign' land - yet you embraced us like family. We are grateful for the opportunity to have had both of you in our lives, regret we are unable to be there for you, and look forward to the future reunion with your sweetheart, our talented mentor & dear friend, Fran.
May the peace of Christ comfort you.
Love, Dallas, Nancy, Alicia & Clara

Uncle Mike, Aunt Frannie will be sorely missed in this family. She was such a light of goodness and joy. The love you two shared was precious and rare. She was an example to all of us. She and you always have made us feel loved and cherished. I am sure dad met her at the gates when she passed. I love you and will miss her so much. Ria

Mike:
God put you both in our lives in the most beautiful way. Both of you have truly been an amazing blessing to us. There can be no other explanation - God wanted to bless us through you both - and He did abundantly. Fran's art and our celebration of her beautiful life fill us with joy, especially in knowing of heaven's rejoice in her. Her paintings of our three children are so precious to us. We cried with joy with each unveiling....her God given gift is so amazing!!! You both have a very special place in our hearts. Our prayers continue to be with you.
With the Love and Peace of Christ,
