Dear Karen and Siblings,
I was "heart broken" when I saw that my dear friend Fran had recently passed away. I am sorry that I didn't see the obituary until it was too late to attend the funeral. She was an "awesome" person and she and I became good friends, while we were working at the bank together. We had such "good times" and her and Jay were so "cute" together. You all hang on to all of those "wonderful" memories you have of your mom forever!! I know I will!!
