Jack, I'm so sorry to hear of Fran's death. Being married for as long as you two have been makes it especially hard. I’m here for you if you want to talk. I was married for 42 years, somewhat shorter than you two, and I still remember Kiko. Good luck, my friend.

Mrs Sullivan gave me the opportunity to volunteer at the school where she worked. She didn't know me well but gave me a chance. Goodness is not only about words but actions. Congrats to the family on a kind and considerate mom,sister,grandmother,wife,etc.

The way I'll remember her is always helping somebody in need. She was very sincere and giving,never expecting anything in return,and that was what made her unique.
Its an enormous loss for everyone that knew her, but especially for the family.

Frances Sullivan...a real down to earth lady. Nothing false about her. An obviously dedicated mom who did a great job! A grandma at heart. But most of all a gutsey women who took everything in stride and never gave up.
