I am sad to have discovered this loss almost one year later. Francine was my dear cousin and best friend growing up. Although distance separated us, I always held a special place in my heart for her. Had I known, I would have been out there in a heartbeat to pay my respects. Will miss you cuz.

Fran will be missed at the biopark. She was a classmate docent with me. I was always amazed at how often I would see her at the zoo considering the long trip from Santa Fe. I'll always remember her great smile and enthusiasm.
