We are heartbroken to have lost our loving friend, Fran. She was such a special person. We loved our trips and dinners with Fran and Woody. And she made the best deviled eggs!
She loved her family, including her precious fur babies. Fran had such a gift for being a friend. She never seemed bored with our endless grandchildren pictures and always was interested in the latest family adventures. Words cannot express her caring, her generosity and her loving heart. We’ll miss you so much, dear Fran.
So sorry Sarah for your loss! Peace and Blessings to you and your family ‘
I’m just so sad….there are just no words….I will miss her so much…
