Dear John, Amy, Chris and Mary,
I just learned of Frans passing today. I am so shocked and sad she is gone. I loved Fran very much, and have thought of her often. I am so sorry to hear she has passed away. I wish I would have known sooner. She made such an impact on my life and I am so sorry to have lost touch over the last few years. Please know you are all in my prayers.

She was a wonderful person I will miss her my prayers are with you and your family and I am sorry I found out on the internet she has passed months later

John and Family,
I just heard about Fran's passing and I had to write to express my condolences to all of you. Even though many years have passed, I have fond and cherished memories of Fran's and my friendship. Both Fran and her mother were very kind to me during our years at St. Jerome's and throughout high school. I still have a necklace that Fran gave me more than 40 years ago.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

John & Family,
I am so very very sorry to hear the sad news, please accept my deepest sympathy & constant on going Prayers to u & your family. Fran & i had our ups & downs growing up but the ups out wayed the downs by all means. We grew up together as kids & her Aunt Isabell & my sister Vicky were best friends in the 60's, & although we have not been in touch with u all in many many years, u & here were always on my mind & in my Heart. I am so glad we got to spend the time we did together when u lived on Comstock, it has been so long ago, i can not even remember the year, but i know it was either in the late 80's or early 90's, either way they are always going to be very fond memories & i was so very happy to have spent those moments with u both.
I am so devasted, that words can not express the pain i am feeling for u all. I Love & always will Love Fran & her family & although i am 1100 miles away, i am hoping that some time soon, someone in your family will get in touch with me. I hope my nymber i post will get to u & the family so that touch can be made.
She is at peace now & no longer suffering with pain she has endured for many years, Her & her MOm will always be cherished by me as they were my guardian angels growing up. I will forever hold all the memories we all had in Rogers Park forever.
God Bless & Keep u all safe.
All My Lasting Love,
