My deepest sympathy to all of Fran's family. I did a number of Bible studies many years ago in Lacon with Fran. She was a Godly woman, and had a profound influence on my life.

Sorry for your loss. She is with Jesus now and she loved the Lord. We met Fran at Chillicothe Bible Church and I also worked with her at Garrels Title Co. in Lacon. She was a special lady and will be missed.
