I was so incredibly sad to hear about Fran's passing. She was a dedicated worker who believed in doing the right thing. She was also a force of nature that never tired of fighting the good fight! She was so very happy when her grandson was born - she just lit up when she talked about him! I extend my deepest sympathies to her family.

I am so sorry for your loss. Fran was a grand lady, smart, hard-working and always beautifully dressed! I very much enjoyed her as a colleague. I am so sorry that she passed so soon and did not get a chance to enjoy her much-deserved retirement from the NRC.

I was absolutely shocked to learn of Fran's passing. This weekend I was just pondering if she was enjoying her retirement, as I initiate my own. I had the pleasure to work with her a few years before she retired and enjoyed getting to know her - she was always helpful in finding solutions that would work for all and had some great ideas. Please accept my sincere condolences.

To Fran's Family. I worked with Fran for many, many years at the NRC. Sometimes she was my supervisor, other times my co-worker and my last year a member of a task force on strategic planning. I am very sad for your loss. She loved her job. I am so glad she was able to spend her retirement with her family whom she adored. Peace and comfort to those left behind.

Dear Goldberg family. I am sorry that Fran is no longer with you. I worked a tiny bit with Fran and always felt she was the kind of person you could look forward to talking to. She found ways to make things work for you, no matter how complicated the process was. She always listened. I didn't know Fran was so accomplished, but now I understand why she was a manager in OIS. I'm also a UC graduate who even studied some of the same subjects, albeit 13 years later than she did, so I can appreciate she must have been a pioneer given the timeframe she was working on her MS. I wish you all comfort and peace.
