Just this last month while reviewing a family DVD of old movies, I was watching Fran dance around the room with her young grandson, Larry Mike Nicholls, during Christmas in the early '80's at the home of Don and Mable. Fran looked like she was just born to dance. What a smile she had and what a pleasant person she was.
Our condolences to all those she left behind.
Love,
Gordon and Donna Waske

Grandma, I have and always will remember all the fun things we used to do together. Hiking on the weekends and sleep overs when you would always make us hot dogs! I always looked forward to my time with you. My love and memories of you, I will cherish for the rest of my life. I only wish I could have seen you one more time.
Ich liebe dich, Oma.

Mom, I am now beginning to miss my visits with you. But I know how much happier you are now. Coincidental as it is, Ron Shinn joined you on Dec. 2nd also. You alway liked him. I can see the two of you skipping around heaven having a ball, laughing at the rest of us left behind. I love you, Bon
