You were Winifred's childhood friend and an adult friend of both of us. So many Virginia and Ashland stories. The Virginia Country Club, Aunt Fran, South Cass, Plumbville, much more. Your family was fortunate to have you for all these years.

Bob and family, so sad to hear about Fran. I have so many wonderful memories of our many times together - the Red Cross Ball, the JL Cruise to the Bahamas, all the weekend barbeques, my beef wellington and cold buttered rums. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Nan

My thoughts and prayers are with the Doddridge family, during this difficult time. Always enjoyed chatting with Mrs Doddridge, while she and Mr. Doddridge were walking, past our house, on Idlewyld Drive and of course, seeing her, on the tennis courts, at LYC.

Please accept my deepest condolences. I had the pleasure of meeting Fran & Bob, through my lovely mother-in-law, Margaret Campbell, when my husband, Will, and I lived in Fort Lauderdale. Fran & Bob were also so gracious. God bless!
