I just now learned of Fran's death. She, and Brad, were an inspiration to me to do yearly holiday newsletters. My husband and I do one every year with pictures and news of our family. I am sorry that we will not get one this year. My Dad, Buddy Goldberg, said he saw Fran in November or late October 2012 as he told us about it at our family Thanksgiving dinner. There are so many good memories about the Seasholes family in my growing up years: playing on the old barn floor that backed up to our...

We had a wonderful visit with Fran, Brad and family when they were in Hawaii- swimming on a "vigorous" beach and hiking in a bamboo forest. They visited us after that when we were in Fairfield, CT. She is missed by many of us. Perry and Lois Eli (cousin to Brad- formerly Lois Seasholes Riggs)

Fran and Brad were homestay hosts for my organization for 13 plus years. Those of us who have worked with her are all deeply saddened as we have lost someone who was committed to international understanding.

Fran went above and beyond for each and every visitor. She prepared dinner nightly, made sure each one was learning and engaged in their studies, and deeply cared about each one. She touched many hearts around the globe and offered many wonderful memories as a host mother....

Fran was my host mother this year in March. I´m a student from Colombia and I will never forget She was an extraordinary person, always trying to teach you about American costumes, religion, food, life and even new vocabulary to improve my english. This picture was this year celebrating her last birthday, she made a yard sale to help poor people. I have the best memories about her. God bless her soul. Rest in peace.

Janet and I knew Fran since our days many years ago on the Bowen PTA. She was a wonderful inspiration to all who knew her. In recent years she was a regular attendee at the Social Justice Forums we conduct several times a year at Sacred Heart Parish in Newton Centre. One evening, as part of my introductory remarks, I mentioned to those in attendance that we were starting to raise money to install a pull down screen in our lower church as an aid for speakers in their presentations. Though...

Brad and fran were our next door neighbors for over 30 years!There couldnt be better friends and neighbors!!Fran was always there to help and when my dad died looked after my mom from time to time . Fran always had a smile and an enthusiastic spirit!I never once saw her frown or look upset. I will miss Fran and I hope all your cherished memories of her provide you with comfort! Marcy Curtis
