To the Greenleaf Family,
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
I have fond memories of when Fran and my mom Irene worked together at VNA. A lovely woman who dedicated her life to those around her.
Sending prayers for peace at this difficult time.

My condolences extend to the entire Greenleaf family. I was always confident that our students were well cared for whenever Fran was on duty in our buildings. She was a wonderful care giver.

Dear Mr. Greenleaf, Candy, Kristen, Cathy, Arthur and Wes,
I will always remember working with Fran at the Groton VNA. We had assigned seating at the office and Fran was my desk buddy. She was a friend, a great mentor and an amazing nurse. She hosted a baby shower for me resulting in lasting memories and photos. I will always remember her thoughtfulness and caring ways. Fran will be in my heart and memory forever. My deepest sympathy.

My deepest sympathies go out to one of my favorite families. She loved each and every one of you, and I feel blessed to have known her. Heaven gained another beautiful angel. With love and blessings, Michele, George and Sammy Fatone

Dear Mr. Greenleaf, Candy, Cathy, Arthur and Wes,
I send you my deepest sympathy and also a thank you for all of the years that our moms shared in nursing school and as neighbors. I also remember Girl Scouts! Your mom was very kind and helpful when my mom passed and who can forget their Grassi-Hedge roll call during the war at Lawrence?
Sending you many memories and sympathy,
Penny (Vail) Cohen
