Fran is as my friend for 26 years. She was kind, generous, intelligent and the holiest person I have ever known. She always had time to talk , to pray with you or for you. I will miss her terribly. The people at Worthington manor were lovely and provided good care in these last difficult years. Her brother in law Richard took excellent care from the day of his brother Roger´s death. He treated Fran like his sister and found the excellent care that she received. I am grateful to him for that. I know Fran s in heaven with her beloved Roger and her Lord Jesus.

Fran was a dear friend while I lived in CT some years ago. I appreciate all the love and support that she gave me. I trust that she is now surrounded by much love and peace.
