I will always be appreciative of Fran´s encouragement and support. The Hamacker family is among the finest I have ever known. Rep. Marcia Morey, Durham

My condolences to Fran´s family. She was a very special lady who I had the pleasure of working with with at the PA Attorney General´s Office. She taught me what a great work ethic was and her love of her family was her greatest joy and proudest accomplishment!!

My deepest sympathy to Fran´s entire family. Fran was a great coworker to me as well as a wonderful mentor n friend. What mattered most to Fran was her wonderful family.

From all of us at Atria Southpoint Walk we are saddened to hear about Fran´s passing. To her sons and family please accept our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

My deepest condolences to Fran's children and family. I worked with Fran for many years and her contributions to Pa's First Statewide Investigative Grand Jury and the United States Attorney's Office (MDPa) were awesome. Fran had a "good heart" in every sense of that phrase and it profoundly touched many lives. She will be greatly missed.
