Claire, Colin and the rest of the family,

I want to offer my sincerest condolences for your loss. I have some wonderful memories of Fran from my youth. I wish I could offer my condolences in person but please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Fran always greeted me with a warm smile, a hug, and her fond name for me,"Mikeydo! From the time I was a little boy running around Greenway Circle, to bringing my young daughters and then my grandkids over to visit...Fran was the unwavering force of kindness and unconditional love. When you handed Fran a baby, she would light up! She was a real kid lover.
Always thrilled to see me. Always a welcome chair at the table. Always time for me.
I would spend countless days at the Haley house,...

It is with a heavy heart that we say good-bye to Fran. She was a very special lady. Always ready for a visit from us kids and then our grandkids.

Fran never strayed far from 19 Greenway Circle and was so very content with her ever so simple life. She showed us how little you need in this world we live in, and yet how filled her life was because of family and friends.

This is the legacy she leaves behind that we should all become a part of. To enjoy life, live...

It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to my beloved mother-in-law. I was priveledged to have been welcome into her and her family's life when I was 17 years old and I learned so much from her. She opened her heart and her home to so many always looking for and seeing the good in everyone. A visit and a cup of tea with Franny always lifted your spirits and set you back on track. She and Bill worked hard and sacrificed for their children's and grandchildren's benefit and they provided...

My beautiful godmother, this world was blessed to have you for 94 yrs and I for 49 of them. From day 1 of my life you had taken me under your wing and treated me like your 4th child with unconditional love. I wouldn't even begin to know how to thank you though I've told you many,many times over our heart to heart talks. My entire life is filled w more memories than I could ever begin or end to share. You were my guardian angel on earth and now from up above. Please give Whimpy a great big huh...

My prayers and tears to my cousin's, but my thoughts and smiles go to their Mom. You guys gave me and so many others some of the best childhood memories ever. Auntie Fran you never failed to make us feel loved.

Claire my thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time. You have our support and we're here for you as you need us. My heart just aches for you.
