Fran was my godmother. In the last 5 years we became very close due to our Tuesday outings to the hairdresser and La Madeleine. I am grateful for the time I had with her. May she rest in peace with Glenn and Brian. I send my love to all the Richardson Family. Susan

God bless Fran, as she joins her sweet son Brian and husband Glenn. I grew up next door to her and will never forget her and her wonderful friendship with my mother. Bob and Mary Ellen, may your grief be assuaged by fond memories.

To my Sweet Lady Mrs. Frances, I enjoyed spending time with you. You were a very loving and caring woman. Our conversation were countless and also our nights. You always made me feel comfortable when I came over to sit with you. You always had a polite word and a sweet kiss on my cheek when it was time for you to go to bed. You will always be missed and I will always remember my Sweet Mrs. Richardson.
Always in my heart.

We would like to share our sympathy and prayers with our Richardson cousins and relatives. Aunt Frances was always delightful and engaging. I remember as one of the many children at family gatherings, she always had some special time and attention to share with me. She will be dearly missed. And she is dearly blessed to be in God's house with Uncle Glenn and everyone else.
