Frances Lind

Fran, I am so sorry I missed you in the last few months. You changed my life. When I was watching skating tapes tonight I googled you because you have always been so modest about your accomplishments. You were the coach that was on the ice, and even at 45, you made me feel that landing a waltz jump was as important to you as a 5 year old headed to the Olympics. You were the most vibrant, exhilarating coach on the ice, and you truly changed my life I will miss our banter as we skated laps...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To Fran, you were the best figure skating coach I could ever have had. you pushed me through my Moves in the Field and you were always there for my competitions. You were intelligent, helpful, encouraging and were a great mentor for me. I wouldn't have wanted any better coach than you! I will miss you and you will always be at the bottom of my heart!

We knew Fran from the rink. She was a wonderful person. She always said hello and would help my kids along with any other person that needed it. She will be greatly missed but at the rink and everywhere. Keeping you, her family, in our prayers.

Fran, You will be truly missed. A wonderful human being and a dear friend. Your passing will leave many fondly remembering you and your kind ways.

Eric,
I will never forget your mom. I prayed for her every single day since I heard about her illness.

To Fran and Family, The times we coached together to help our students skate to their best of their abilities will never be the same without your input and mentoring. Emily and I hope we can carry on the tradition of coaching you have inspired us to do. The Figure Skating Community has lost a great teacher and coach. You will be greatly missed.

To Fran's Family: We graduated NHS in 1961 together. Fran was liked and admired by everyone. Skate on to heaven dear lady may God Bless. (Rowayton, Ct. & Ocala, FL.) Joan Kuchman Stevenson

Eric and family,
Your mom was a wonderful person on and off the ice. She will be greatly missed in the figure skating community. Thoughts and prayers are with you
