I´ve known her since my early 20s I met her in the cafeteria of James Monroe high school where we both taught. We stayed in touch although I had to leave New York for my husband`s career and we remained in touch largely for almost 60 years. I will miss her she was a very good person who try to always do the right thing

I grieve the loss of my dear friend Fran and will always cherish all the years we had together, with regular communications by phone and also some special trips and visits. And Fran was my matron of honor at my wedding in 1974 (photo below). Your suggestion, Marc, to donate to the project she held so dear and to which she was so committed or to do volunteer work is precious; your mom would have loved that. Your mom was a doer, a distinguished educator, and her heart was filled with kindness and love for her family and friends as well as her community. She was a true example of tikkun olam. May Fran's memory always be a blessing to those who knew and loved her. I will miss her terribly. With love to you especially, Marc and Dani--Roz Schindler
