We will really miss Fran. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed our front porch discussions. If one was feeling down, Fran's comments were the best medicine one could have. Our son, Matt, stated this when I told him about Fran's passing; "I'll miss our conversations and her tolerant spirit." Much love to the whole family.
