Was so sorry to learn of Frannie's passing. I just loved taking school bus trips with her. We'd dropped the students, go eat and just sit and laugh. She was a hoot. Until we meet again my friend. Prayers to the family.

What will we all do without Frannie? She was stubborn, strong, hard working and loving; one of the most loving women I've ever known. As a bus driver, she was adored by her students. She made them walk the line, but she loved them - every one. She would give them homemade gifts for Christmas every year. The ornaments she made for my kids still hang on our tree every year.
Fran spoke her mind and made us laugh every day. She was a genuine treasure.
To her family, you have my sincere sympathies. I know she's leaving a huge hole in your hearts.
Rest in peace Fran.
