Fran was a beloved member of our Bethesda prayer group for many, many years. She was a friend, a sister in Christ, an exhorter with her faith-filled thoughtful notes, a grand prayer warrior and a personal mentor. I send my sympathy to the family and am sorry not to be at her celebration service. She will be remembered with great fondness.
