The world is much sadder without Fran, but oh the joy in Heaven as they are all reunited. I'll visit with het when I visit Mom and Dad's grave. You were truly blessed!

Fran was a wonderful mother and friend. I have fond memories of stopping by her home on W. Smith Street for a homemade cookie and of her skating at Meade Park. Mike and I were in the same high school class. She lived a wonderful life.

May I offer my condolences to the Macs. Your Mom was a wonderful lady. She had a great sense of humor, made everyone around her laugh and put everyone at ease. I have many cherrished memories from many visits as a child to the last visit in reading. Aunt Fran is off to her next great adventure. She is playing golf with her sisters, swimming in lake Erie or Finlay lake with her siblings, and enjoying the family reunion in heaven. I can almost hear the laughter now as I am typing.

Love always

Dear Mike, Peter, Joe and Nancy--
So sorry to hear of Aunt Fran's passing. Thinking of her always brings a smile to my face. She had that Snell sense of humor and dry wit. I will always remember, just prior to her leaving Corry, the day she entertained the guests at the Deer Head Inn by playing the old piano there and making me sing along....She did receive a round of applause. But now the whole noisy group is together again probably reminiscing about their Findley Lake times and the "Snell-a-brate" reunions at Turnwald. Thinking of you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family. Time and distance has separated us over the decades, but we've always thought of her as cousin Dee sent emails of family updates. She now joins a real crew of brothers and sisters for all eternity. The dry humor and controlled laughs I'm sure will continue. Keep the Faith and Trust in The Lord.
