A gentle wind blew cross the land
Reaching out to take a hand
For on the winds the angels came
Calling out a mother's name.

Left behind, the children's tears
Loving memories of the years
Of joy and love, a life well spent
And now to God a mother's sent.

On angel's wings, a heavenly flight
The journey home, towards the light
To those who weep, a life is gone
But in God's love, 'tis but the dawn
Our hearts are saddened by the loss of such a wonderful giving of herself to others woman. She will be in our hearts forever because she touched each and everyone of us deeply .your Gods angel mamma ,we will meet again up yonder someday.all my love your pistal (Barbie)CountryGoldGal .our prayers are with you mike

My heart aches and my tears flow, but I know my dearest friend is where there is no more tears, sorrow or pain, and that one day we will see each other again. If there is anything that I can do for you, just let me know.....I'll be there. All my love.

I am proud that Fran called me a friend, she was a sweet lady and I will miss her. She is no longer confined with disabilities, but is set free. May Jesus hold her in His arms.
Mike, If Joe and I can be of any help, just call.

As Fran's adopted "MOM" she will surely be missed by me. I can't replace her as MOM to you but if you ever need a MOM to talk to, you have my phone number. We will miss her but we all know we didn't want her to suffer and praise God she is now safe in his arms and resting with no pain.
