Fran when she worked at Alcon.

She was always fun to be around and a very funny lady.

Self Family,

Our families go back a long way (to Highland Hills). My parents (A.B. and Ruth Wright) were neigbors not only in Highland Hills but also after both families moved to Everman. My parents moved to Weatherford years ago, but my mom still mentioned Fran often. I am so sorry to hear of her death. She was a special lady. May God comfort you during this time.
