It has been quite a while since we have seen Fran, but our memories of her will always be of how sweet, generous and loving she was to everyone. She will be missed.

Chucker, Carolyn, and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom, my Godmother she was so special beyond words. Growing up I always looked forward going to visit the Godmother, her contagious laugh, sparkling eyes and all the love and warmth in the house was amazing to be a part of. I will miss her greatly, but I know she was greeted in Heaven by Chuck, Kevin, and Diane, and there is a big party going on and the best part is that she is at peace.

Chucker, Carolyn and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about your Mom, my Godmother had passed. She was so special, beyond words. I was blessed to have her as a Godmother, friend, and a second Mom that I could call while I was growing up and always offered help and advice, while she was busy with her own family. Even though I am grown now I will miss that. She was a mentor to me and someone I loved, looked up to, admired, had great strength, and never complained. The kind of person we all should be. She made the world a better place. Heaven has a full room with her in it, your Dad, Kevin, and Diane, I know there is a big big long awaited party happening there. I know she is at peace with her big angel wings she earned spreading happiness up there. God Bless Fran! I will always love you and thank you.
