Fran, you were such a wonderful person. My heart goes out to your family and close friends. I can only imagine how much they will miss you.

I am so sad to hear the news of Fran's sudden passing. She cut my hair for over 10 years and since moving to SC, I haven't found anyone that can cut it as well as she did. She was a delightful person and I always enjoyed out time catching up on each other's lives when I came in to the salon. I know she is smiling and laughing with her dad and looking down checking on Vern and her mom.

Fran was a lovely lady. She cut my hair for over 14 years and I got to know her very well. I will miss her deeply.

My sincere condolences to the family on the loss of dear Fran. I will always remember her for both her talent as a hairdresser (she cut my hair for eight years) and for the special friendship we enjoyed during those hair appointments, chatting about family and pets. She was a delightful, kind and caring person, and her family is in my thoughts and prayers.

A Beautiful Light in our world has been turned off but Frans spirit will last for my lifetime... Vern, we miss her so much already and pray for you and the family, Mrs Summers and her sisters that the life she lived will remain in your heart and her most beautiful smile and nature will carry you on. God Bless Fran and all her friends and Family.
