I pray that GOD is giving strength to ALL as Frannes passing from this realm is extremely difficult for those close to her. I am a true believer that she is enjoying her special spirit with many right now and we will join her someday in the life after. Farewell for now my friend until we meet again.

Thanks Franne for being my friend. Thanks for encouraging me. Thanks for thinking I was cool. I'm a better person because of you. I'll always remember swimming together and exercising and talking about life. Thanks for making me feel special and loved. I'll never forget you.

What an immense loss not only to her family, but to all the artistic world! What a gift she had! I had never heard of her because in the `70´s we didn´t have cable TV at home, so today is when I found out who she was! God bless her beautiful soul and may she Rest In Peace.

I was privileged to have made her acquaintance in Madison, WI during her sojourn here 2015 to 2017. A local gallery, Stone Fence, exhibited her works. I ended up acquiring 4 of what I call "head arrays" including one of her 'In Perfect Harmony' series (V ?). Wonderful conversations and such a life--as I found out after acquiring the first two 'arrays'. She asked why and how I became interested in collecting art--and listened intently! And I soon learned how her's was a life of Creative Intent. Those few conversations made quite the impression on me.

Franne was one of my favorite friends. I'm sure going to miss her captivating personality... a fun-loving adventurer with a great sense of humor who lived life to the hilt.

We enjoyed reconnecting with Cousin Franne. Our last time together we stopped at Rudy’s. Too many years of loud R&RI had to sit outside. I have to say that was as entertaining as the music! Watching Franne with her golfing buddies, talking about the best place to play and when. Yea she was accomplished, but she was cousin to me. Until we meet again. Love you Cuz.

She was a new friend, who I hoped would become an old friend, but I was grateful to know her for the time I was able to. I miss her.
