Very saddened to hear this news.

Always keep the way Auntie Fran showed her love close in your heart. I know that I will. Love and light.

My sincere condolences to Carl and Fran's entire family. Fran was so sweet to me and took me under her wing in the world of gymnastics. She loved the sport and real adored others who shared that same love. She had a heart of gold. I will truly miss her.

Carl, Diane, Melissa, and the Boys,

I have so many fond and funny memories of Fran. Of course, many had to do with gymnastics. She always put others first - what a kind and wonderful person she was. What will we do without Fran judging at our New England Invitational and Funomenal Flippers meets!! She was always there with a smile on her face for the girls - no matter if that gymnast was an XCEL or a Level 10!!

I am heartbroken at the loss of Fran. So many of my gymnastics memories include Fran. Many, many years ago she used to judge me, and recently, she has been judging my daughter. She has touched the lives of generations of gymnasts in Connecticut.

She was a wonderful person who had a heart of gold, and she would do anything for anyone. My condolences to Carl, Diane, Melissa and the boys.

Carlton, Wish, Melissa, Greg, Nate, Jeff & Brian my family to yours sorry. She touched many lives, brought smiles to countless faces & you always knew where you stood. Gone but never forgotten.

I am so sad to hear of Frans passing. She was a friend and mentor. The gymnastics community will truly miss her

My sincere condolences for the Wishart family . Your mom was a wonderful caring person. She will be missed by many in the gymnastics world. I hope your family can be at peace now.

It saddens me very much to learn of Fran's passing. As a fellow gymnastics colleague Fran and I traveled to many meets together working side by side to serve the gymnasts. She had a knack for getting everyone to laugh when challenging circumstances surfaced. My thoughts are with Fran's family during this most difficult time. Patty McDiarmid

Carlton,
Know that the gymnastics world will miss Fran. She may have driven us crazy at times, and herself crazy at others - and we all know she drove you crazy most of all. But we all know that Fran wanted nothing but the best. The best for the gymnasts, the best for the coaches, the best for the Judges. That passion will be missed terribly.

Fran will be sadly missed by everyone in the Gymnastics Community. She was always willing to help anyone who needed assistance. She will be remembered as a spirited, generous, and kind person with a loving heart. I will keep Fran and her family and friends in my thoughts and prayers.

Wish. Thinking and praying for you and your family and know you will find comfort in all the wonderful memories.

Dear Wishart Family;
In losing a love one is very difficult and I am wishing you healing and peace
My sincere condolences

Diane - I am so sorry to read about your mom's passing. From all that you had told us she was such a vibrant, loving mom, grandmom and friend to all. May God hold you and your family near and dear and gently carry her to heaven shining His light upon you all. Love - Mimi, Emmy and Matt

So sorry for your loss, Fran was a wonderful sweet and cute lady who I came to know after I became a gymnastics judge. She helped me out when I was getting started with some judging tricks and a lot of knowledge. I will never forget our carpool talks. I felt like I knew her grandchildren as she would talk about them and all of their accomplishments. She was very much proud of her family. I will miss seeing her, gymnastics will never be the same.
Thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Fran was a special woman. She mentored my daughter in gymnastics and got her through some rough practices and meets with her kind words of support and smiles. She also celebrated those moments of victory. She will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Fran was a wonderful kind woman and she will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by all of her friends in the gymnastics community. Cindi O

So sorry for your loss. Fran was a great mentor for those of us young judges learning the ropes. She was a vibrant lady with a wonderful laugh.

Diane and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was an incredible person who left an impression on all she met. She will be greatly missed!

I have such fond memories of Fran, from my years of being a gymnast and my years as being a coach. She has brought much pride and growth to CT-gymnastics.

We knew Fran as a gymnastics judge who not only loved the sport but loved each gymnast and wanted them to achieve their goals. She was positive and supportive and will be missed in our gymnastics world. Thank you Judge Fran for all you have given to so many.

Carl and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. She was a good person. My thoughts are with you all.

Melissa and family,
I'm very sorry to hear the lose of your mother. Please know you are in my prayers.

I have only known Fran for the last few years, as a mentor who pulled me into the gymnastic judging world and never let me go. She was a formidable woman, who's love and passion for the sport and all the young gymnasts she encouraged, never waivered.
I recently took a road trip with Fran and Carl and at the end of the trip I remarked to them how cute they both were. Their dedication to each other was evident and admirable. My sincere condolences are with Carl and the family. Fran will be sorely missed.

Carl, Diane, Melissa - I am so sorry for your loss. Fran was so special to me and I will be forever grateful for all she has done for me and the AAU Gymnastics league. She will be missed but the memories will never be forgotten. Thoughts and prayers to all of you.

Fran will never be forgotten! We will forever honor her in AAU Gymnastics!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family!
