Family and friends would look forward to her "Fran cake."

I´m sorry to hear about your loss. I´m Kenny Steward"s cousin. I loved visiting with your mom when she worked at Russ´s IGA. We chatted every time I saw her. She also made my son´s groom cake. She was a sweet, kind and caring person.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Fran. She was such a sweet and kind person. Very soft spoken but always there to help. We had quite a few "Fran cakes" over the years and enjoyed every bite.
