I am so saddened to hear about Fran. Fran was my supervisor two times. Once in the JNHG program and then years later in NHEP. I LOVED working with Fran. She was such a wonderful supervisor and friend. I used to look forward to the times she would come to our office because we would always go out to lunch together and I knew there would be plenty of laughs. Her face would always light up when she talked about Brandy and her grandsons. I am so sorry for your loss. Thinking of all of you and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Susan Dionne

Fran was the "Best Boss" one could ever want.
Caring, giving, understanding and true. She wasn't afraid to be honest and real. She believed in people and this was something one could not ignore.
Boss- you will be missed by so many. We are thankful for the time we had to know you, work with you, and toast a glass with you.
Rest in peace dear Fran.
