David & I knew Fran for almost 20 years.We bowled together for almost that long. She was always the life of our parties. If heaven has a bowling league you can be sure she is on it.
We will miss her very much especially at tournament time.

I remember Frannie as the bowling lady with the beautiful long painted finger nails. I loved the color she wore and always thought to myself "how in the heck can she bowl with those long nails and not break them"! I never seen her break one--she was always laughing or telling us a joke and how her day went. those times along with the spirit she had will be missed. Rest in peace and continue to watch over your loved ones as they will think of you daily and wonder how you are doing today! Love and Miss ya lady!
