I am so sad to hear of Francie's battle and eventual demise. Just last month I was perusing our KHS 53' yearbook and when I came to her picture, thought I should send her a note. Sadly, grief from another death got in the way. I remember her so fondly, what fun we had in the library, and how I enjoyed her wry humor and her beautiful smile.
Condolences to all who loved her; she was a special human being.

My condolences are with the family and my prayers go out to Debbie and the girls, what a courageous person and family you are. I remember the times I would help her wash her car in the garage at my mom's house. What a joy to be around her. Again my sympathy.
