I am heartbroken to hear of my dear friend Frans passing.I send my prayers and sympathy to her family. Fran was my childhood best friend, we walked to school daily, walked home for lunch then back for the afternoon. We walked the lower road for all church services, rosary, stations, and CCD classes. Our lives revolved around church.We skated on the swamp in winter when it froze and went roller skating in town. We were the class of 61 and we stayed friends all these years. I´m sad to know she will never call me again on Sunday nights. I will keep her in my prayers. For Fran life has not ended but merely changed! Alleluia!!!!
