    Fran was a very special lady. I loved her and enjoyed caring for her. I enjoyed getting to know her family which she loved everyone of you so very much. She talked about you all the time. Fran made me smile and treated me so kindly. She did not have life easy but she kept moving forward. Which inspired me
    I miss her.

    Fran came into our family’s life when I was very young. She babysat my brother and I and then later, came to live with our family while she was in high school. She became like a big sister to us! Although we lost contact over the past few years, she will always hold a special place in our hearts and memories.
