Frannie - As time passes and we all continually age - I constantly remember your laugh and smile and the way you loved life and "the good times". You will always be loved and missed and be my "Lil" Sargent.

As I age and slowly face the reality that life here on Earth eventually leaves us...I cannot help but think how France's life was cut all too short. I think of her every day and all the good memories and love we did share. I can only hope and pray that God took her hand and led her to peace and comfort.

To Fran's Family ~ I learned of Fran's passing 45 minutes ago. I was surprised as I had talked to Kathy a few weeks ago and Fran was doing well and continuing to give it hell and beat the odds. May the dove who flew in the church when she was baptized guide her soul to heavenly bliss. She was a spirited one and an old friend. Godspeed my friend.
