Nani was one of a kind, she always knew just what to say and when to say it. Whenever she was at my house and I had a question or a problem, she was always my first choice for advice. Even I live over 1500 miles away she always stayed in touch by sending little gifts and cards.

I fondly remember Frans support when I married her youngest daughter and then moved her 2,000 miles away to South Texas. She showed me nothing but support and helped Sandy and I to gain our own identity as a couple as a result. She was a great mother in law never once over stepping boundaries. I am grateful to have had ( and I believe I still have ) a wonderful mother in law. One my kids loved ( still do ) and have nothing but positive memories from getting to know her. I will always remember her for her sense of humor and silly remarks at just the right time, usually at the dinner table to lighten the conversation. Having her for my mother in law has made our marriage that much easier. I will miss her greatly and will never forget what she meant to me.

Nani was the best nani ever. She would always send things whether or not you needed them. But thats what made her special, that and her relationship with GOD! Her last grandaughter Savana Overly.

My Grandma was the best grandma you could ever wish for. She would always send things even if we needed or not! But thats what made her the best grandma, that and her relationship with God! God Bless my Nani as she is at peace. Her last grandaughter SAVANA OVERLY!

Wes,Pat,Trudy,Linda,Glo,Ray&Sandy I am very,very sorry for your loss. I still have my mother and my spouse so I can't even begin to know what you are feeling or what you are going through. I do know that Fran was a very special,kind,loving,giving person. My Avon order was always way to inexpensive and if I happened to mention an item that I liked at Glo's house and Fran was around there would be a package at my door within a few days with that item in it. And could she dance! I could always rely on Fran to do a mean twist with Jerry at a party. Fran was a fantastic LADY and will be missed by all who knew her.

When I think of what defines a successful life, Fran Triplett, her endless hard work and thoughfulness, love and generosity achieved a measure of success that most only hope to approach. Fran never failed in offering a sincere smile, an endless bounty of kind words and personalized offerings that touched all who knew her.. MOst of all, Fran left a family of dozens in new genrations of people who echo all the finest qualities that can be passed only through endless dedication and faith in God.

Thank you Lord for the life of Francess Triplett.

I feel blessed to have been among those who knew Fran and through Gloria heard many wonderful stories about this magnificent woman. Fran was a very kind, thoughtful, and generous lady. She was always so happy and such a joy to be around. The times I saw her she always gave me a little gift even if it meant taking the breast cancer pin off her top and giving it to me. This really did happen.
I will always remember that fun weekend we shared (she and Wes stayed in Jim and Gloria's RV).
Wes, Gloria, Pat, Trudy, Linda, Ray, Sandy and family members; may the wonderful memories you have provide you comfort.

As the first Grandson I feel that I was "pretty spoiled". But somehow Grandma always treated everyone as they were the most special in the whole world. When in reality it was her that was the special one and who gave so much of herself showing a vast and growing family how to love and how to smile from the heart. Grandma, I look up at the brightest of stars and feel that you are and always will be with me. My 40 years with you was just not enough, but I would not be ME without all you brought to my life. Thank you for allowing me to love you. Grandma, I love you so so much...be at peace now.

As Ray's "side-kick" in high school I have fond memories of what nice lady Mrs Triplett was. Her love certainly has shown through in her wonderful children.

My mom blessed me with more memories than I could ever share. Memories of patience, forgiveness, laughter, kindness, generosity, friendship, encouragement and unconditional love, to name a few. Though I will miss her presence in my life, I will always have so much to reflect on that she left me. Including, a beautiful family of sisters, a brother, brother-in-laws, nieces, nephews and my own children and husband that have been greatly influenced by two loving and commited parents. I also have faith that she is at peace and i will see her again when God calls me home as He does all those who call on Him for salvation. God bless all those who loved her. Her baby girl, Sandy.

Fran will be missed enormously. She was such a vibrant and loving Mom and woman. I loved Sunday dinners growing up, your Mom and family always made me feel so welcome. She left us all blessed to have known her and to have been fortunate enought to learn from her example. I will cherish the memories and have peace knowing our moms are together in a very special place watching over us and smiling.
With lots and lots of love,

I am so proud to have been able to care for my mother, along with my brother and sisters in her final weeks. She was an amazing mother. Everyone should be so blessed to have such a loving caring mom. I am not sure there will ever again be someone as happy to see me as she always was. Jim and I will miss her forever, and keep her in our hearts always.

Sandy and family:

I just read about your Mom's passing and my heart is broken. She was like a second Mom to me when Sandy and I were growing up. I lived on Patti Lane and Sandy and her family lived on Townely.
Some of my favorite memories of Mrs. Triplett is when she would always have some sort of candy waiting for Sandy after school and Sandy being the best friend that she was would always share with me. Today one of my favorite sweet treats is Red Licorice and I believe
Fran had a hand in that. Another memory is all the Avon glass she use to collect I was in awe of all the colors and pieces but the most treasured memory of Mrs. Triplett
was when I went on vacation with Sandy, her Dad and her Mom to the Ponderosa Ranch, we had a great time and it will always be a trip I'll always remember and hold close to my heart.
I feel honored in knowing such a wonderful lady.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To all the Triplett Ohana, I would like offer my most sincere condolences on your great loss. When the mother of a family passes, it is an irreplaceable part of your life and only time and faith will help ease the emptyness in your heart. It may seem like things will never be the same and they won't, but you are all blessed with having the opportunity to have shared time with a person that has added so much to your life and changed the why you have thought and lived. She will live in all of our hearts forever. God bless you Fran and all of the hearts you have touched.

Wes,Pat,Linda,Trudy,Glo,Sandy and Mac, There is a country western song called Three Wooden Crosses. It is my most favorite county western song. It's a very sad song with an awesome ending. There is this one sentence in it that has always reminded me of Mom T. It says "it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you but what you leave behind you when you go". As I have contemplated that verse many times I have thought that I want to leave as much as I can be hind me when I go. Many things I have learned from Mom T. Your Mom was an incredible woman! She taught me so much! Her legacy will always live in me, my children and I am sure my grandchildren. I was sharing with Ray that I told Rhondarose just the other day that I learned from Grandmom Triplett to write the time,date and weather on every letter. She said you did Mom? I said , yep! I told her she was also the one who taught me to send stamps in my letters to others, and she is also the one who made and gave me my first birthday book. I have made one for each one of my children. But the best thing she ever taught me was to love unconditionally. We were never related to her but she never forgot my children on there birthdays or any other holiday. There was always a card from Grandmom Triplett! Her legacy lives on! You had an incedible Mother and she will be missed! I love you all! Many thoughts and prayers, Darlene


Love you Mom T! I will miss you.Thanks for all you taught me! Darlene

Sandy & Family,
Your mom was a monumental part of my childhood. Those were important years in our growing and learning, I'm fortunate she was there to help raise me. And, in all of my 46 years, that period of time is the most memorable for me. Your mom and I always kept in touch at christmas time, right up to last year. It always brightened my day when I received a card from her. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Her legacy is vast and will live for eternity.
With deepest sympathy,
Sally White

I will always remember Fran's smiling face when I would visit the Viscosi family. You could tell her family was the most important priority in her life. She was the super Avon lady and so beautiful. May you have an eternity of joy and peace in heaven.

Aloha to all and mahalo for visiting Mom's guest book. Mom's final days were as she wished; at home surrounded by family. Our Dad, known to most as Wes, my sisters, all the grandchildren, great grandchildren, even great, great grandchild, and myself filled the house with the sounds of joyful family gathering; just the way Mom liked it!

Mom's memory will live on in our hearts.

From Mom's only son,
