I am so sorry to hear of Fran's passing. My sincere condolences to all of her family. I have wonderful memories of visits with Fran and her sisters, Elida who lived on Lincoln Terrace and her sister Ora - in younger days. They are great memories that I shall always cherish.

Fran was one of the most cherished friends I have ever had. There were over twenty years of precious memories and a lot of laughter along the way. She loved all of her family dearly and spoke of all of them often. Words are inadequate to express the loss that I feel. But I know that she is now at peace and I look forward to seeing her again in eternity. Much love to all of her family. Brenda

Franny as we called her growing up on Lincoln Terrace. Franny came from a great family. Her sisters were all very nice. The Brothers Butch, Delo, and I can't remember the oldest. May she rest in Peace. Colombo Piccolomini
