Dear David and Family,
Les and I were very shocked and saddened by the news that Fran had passed away. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to you and your family. Take comfort in the fact that Fran was a truly wonderful, caring, and giving person who touched so many with her generosity and photography talent. There are so many, like us, that will think of her daily as they look at her handiwork displayed throughout their homes. My children Lindsey, Lesley, and Lacey will certainly miss "Ms. Fran" as they had grown to love going to see her over the past six years. Until we meet again.......Missie Willard

David, my mother called this morning to tell me of Fran's death. I cannot believe it. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I am indeed blessed to be able to say that Fran Worrell Marcum was my friend. I can walk in any room in my house and see the work you two did together. She has blessed my life since childhood. I always thought that Fran was one of God's angels on earth because she loved others so easily and did not judge. David, you brought such joy to Fran. I know the days ahead will be difficult. I have missed both of you since moving to Tifton. We do have this assurance that one day we will be together. How appropriate of God to take Fran into His arms during this season of Thanksgiving. She defined the meaning of this season through her life. May God continue to grant you His comfort and strength. With love, Susan Roe

Fran was a wonderful blessing in both my and my little boy Garrett's life. Garrett always loved going to get his picture taken at Fran and Dave's house. A canvas portrait of Garrett when he was 1 year old eating birthday cake and crying is hanging in my kitchen. It was taken by Fran, and everytime I look at the picture I will remember her with fondest memories.
I thank God that He blessed us with Fran's sweet, tender heart.
God Bless, Dr. Lesley Kirby
