Frances Chan

Pat and Family,

Some time has passed now since Fran left us and not one single day goes by that I don't think of her. What a courageous woman she was! Never once did she complain of pain, when it was obvious she was having a bad day. She always found the positive in every situation, even having cancer. She could brighten the darkest of rooms with her genuine smile and wonderful sense of humor. She loved all of you deeply and spoke so highly of each of you. Your loss is...

Tricia and family,
Even though I knew your mother for just a short while, I feel a fraction of the loss you all have felt so heavily. Your mother always met me with such warmth, and I saw in her so much humility, honesty, and dedication that I see her as a role model whose memory will always help me keep the right priorities. I admire how strong you, Tricia, have been through all of this, and the same goes for the entire family. Both ceremonies were beautiful, and a deserved honor to...

Dear Pat and Family,

I have never met anyone who could brighten up a day like Fran could! It was my pleasure to know such a sweet lady. I miss her sense of humor. I know that she is now entertaining the angels.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Tricia and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Your mother was such a wonderful person. She was such a kind soul and caring individual and she will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Pat and Ryan:

There are few people that come into your life and truly make you a better person. Fran was one of those people. She was an amazing colleague, friend and parent. Her dedication to her responsibilities at Victor is only surpassed by her love and dedication for her family. I will never forget her! I am inspired by her life!

Dear Pat and Family,
I had the pleasure of working with Fran at school. I looked forward to going downstairs each day, her smile brightened everyday. She had such a wonderful sense of humor. I admired her strength and courage during her illness. I will always cherish our friendship.

I know that Fran is in a better place and is looking down on us with love.Even when times were tough She still had love in her heart and continued to light up a room with her smile.I will miss her as well as all of the Victor staff.

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Fran at Victor. Her sense of humor was delightful and she shared it with everyone she worked with. Her work ethic was phenomenal as she fulfulled her new duties as Deputy Tax Collector. Her spirit and her determination to do a "good" job even under her own personal circumstances were an inspiration to us all. May you all as Fran's family find comfort in knowing what a truly good person Fran was. It was a true pleasure knowing her.

Dear Pat,

I am saddened by the news of Fran's passing. Fran was such a loving, kind and generous person; she will be missed by countless family, friends, and co-workers.

When Fran and I had discussions regarding her illness, I was always impressed by her courage and inner strength. She never gave up hope and fought a good fight. Personally, she was, and will, remain an inspiration to me. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to know her!
