My wonderful mother in law, Charlene was best friends with Fran. Their friendship brought such joy to all those around them. They were silly as sixteen year olds together and just a blast to be around. I was always so drawn to Fran. We talked and locked eyes and related so well. After losing Charlene, I met Fran for breakfast while visiting Chicago. We walked the many blocks back to her home in the bustling wind. Her home with Herb was a sight to see. Just a stunning museum. I am thinking of this great loss for the family. I am honored to have known and loved Fran. I wish you all peace and health from our family. Elly (Neil Gibbs wife)

To Fran´s surviving family. She was a strong , loving , caring person through out my life. I am sad to see her go. For many years after my mom died, whom she was friends with, she called and talked with me. Keeping my moms spirit alive in my heart. I will miss her. RIP
