Graduated with Fran, Class of 1968. In our older years, we became closer, sharing our joys and concerns at our monthly breakfast outings. She will be missed a lot. I always admired her strength through difficult situations. She seemed to be a "on the go" gal, even when she was in healing mode. Funny, loved her family immensely. Always had a story about what was going on with them. Respectfully disagreed at times but we loved being together. So sorry you had to say, "see ya later". So thankful we can say that too.

Mike & Michelle, I lived a couple houses down from you in the Heights and babysat the both of you when you were very young. I send my heartfelt condolences to the both of you and all of your families. Missy Tretheway (Campbell)

Fran has been a friend since kindergarten at Phillips school, when she first came to Muskegon. We lived kitty corner from her house and we could yell at each other from our homes. We spent a lot of childhood riding bikes, picking blueberries, playing baseball and other games. In the last few years she started coming to our Phillips Kindergarten lunches we have every couple of months, I was glad to see her more often then. She was one of the sweetest people I know, and would help anyone if they ever needed her. This is such sad news. I will miss her so much as others will.
I'm sending Prayers and comfort to her family and friends, may you find peace in your memories.

I remember when she joined our class at Muskegon Christian Grade School. A wonderful person is now enjoying the joys of Heaven. She will be missed by many.

Fran has been a friend and co worker that had a heart of gold. I will miss her infectious smile. She will be missed at the craft shows that we seem to do together. Love you Frankie, I sure will miss you.

Fran was the glue that kept our family together for reunions, celebrations, she faithfully kept in touch, I will miss my sisters weekly phone calls, humor and sharing her heart, she never missed a birthday, or anniversary. I know she is rejoicing in heaven´s reward and I hope to meet her there one day.
