Fran was the most gentle and kind person I've ever known. She will be greatly missed by everyone.

I only met Fran a few times, but I know the difference that her daughter Pam and family have made in the lives of others. Pam and Mark have raised two fine boys and selflessly gave a home to Julia. They are raising her as their granddaughter and giving her all the love and advantages to become a fine lady like her daughter Pam. You have raised an Angel in Pam and make the world a better place Fran. Thank you and may God bless and comfort your husband and family
