Frances Ellen Brower

Dear Franny,
I will always remember your kindness and love towards all of the dogs that we "saved" during our childhood days in West Virginia. You were so loved and appreciated by all of your friends in West Virginia as well as in high school at Boca Ciega when we moved to Florida. You were a wonderful mother to Matt and Heather. I have been able to meet your granddaughter, Ellie, and I know that she can feel your love. Mary and I miss you so much as you were the best sister and friend that we could ever imagine. May you always know how much you are missed.

Still find it hard that my beloved Aunt Franny is gone, even after a year! You are missed by everyone! Such a beautiful person inside and out! I love you!

Fran, my Sister and forever friend. Miss you more and more.... Mary

Franny,
Not a day goes by without my thoughts turning to you. You are so loved and missed. You were always there for me as I was your younger sister. Words can't express the loss that I feel. I've been able to meet your beautiful granddaughter, Ellie. She is so precious. May you always know how much your kind and generous ways were appreciated. Thank you for being you.

Fran and I were very good friends in high school at Bogie and I will always remember her. I am grieved to hear of her passing. My condolences to Ron and her family. She was a very kind and wonderful person and I was lucky to have had her as a friend.

A friend of mine e-mailed me today and told me about Fran's passing. I am so sorry. Fran and I were in Bernina Club together. She made my granddaughter a romper with her name on it and a pretty little blue dress. I always enjoyed talking to Fran. She loved her family and her doggies.

Somehow I missed Fran's obituary in the Tallahassee Democrat last week. Saw the picture today in the "Under the Oaks" of Fran and Ron in Russia with the notation that she had lost her battle with lung cancer on Veteran's Day. I was her friend at Bernina Club where she will be missed. She always had such nice children's clothes to show us. But more than that she was such a caring, friendly person to all of us.

My sincere condolences to the family. Never feel that you are alone, for God hears your cry for help and he will sustain you. (2 corthians 1:4).

Ron you were truly blessed as you know to have had a very respected and loved wife. Most important that she knew the Lord and is dwelling with Him now. Only the Lord can comfort us at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. It was great to have had the great opportunity to see both of you at the 50th reunion. sincerely Kathryn Armes Dinkins

Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Ron, I have written to you how I feel about Fran's untimely passing and now can only offer to hold you and your family in my heart and be there for you in St. Petersburg this Saturday. Judy Brett

I love you Aunt Franny!!

I will miss you so very much Aunt Franny!! My love to Uncle Ron, Heather and Matt!!

Ron, Matt and Heather:
Fran's surprising illness and quick passing breaks my heart, so I can only imagine how it has impacted you. Lean on your family and friends during this time of transition. And may faith, hope and love abide with you in the days to come.

Dear Heather, Matt, and Mr. Brower,
I'm so very sorry to hear about your great loss. I hope the many wonderful memories of your mom and wife will help a bit during this devastating time. You are all in my thoughts. Take care~

I have such fond memories of our years growing up as next door neighbors along the Cheat River in WV.....Bullet was Fran's first dog, if I remember correctly. She was a wonderful person and was loved by many. Rest in peace, Cousin Fran.

Heather, I am so very sorry for your loss. Please let me know if I can do anything to help you.

Ron, Heather and Matt,

We will miss Fran's sweet and gentle spirit. We always loved hearing of your travels around the globe together. We know this a great loss for all of you. We continue to lift you all in our prayers.

Ron, Matt and Heather ... we are so sorry for your loss. Fran's legacy as a loving wife and wonderful Mom are reflected in you who love her. We are thinking of you and praying for you.
