• Fran was my bus driver when i was in elementary school. Fran was my favourite bus driver, and i always looked forward to riding to school with her. I've never forgotten Fran. A small child doesn't have memorable conversations with an adult, or take the time to get to know an adult, so it was just what she radiated that made me love her, and that's pretty special. RIP Fran, and deepest condolences to all of your family and friends. - Posted by: Angelina (she was my busdriver) on: Jun 06, 2013

• Lisa, Krista & Paul.. I am so sorry to hear of Fran's passing. She always had a smile and good word to say about anyone. My first meeting with her was at the childrens hospital back in the late 80's when Lisa and my son were there. Her love of Bostons was also a love of ours. Paul, I too lost my husband in Febuary of this year and know how you feel, there are no words that will heal your heart, but she will live in your heart forever "Although she can't be with you. You're truly not apart. Until the final breath you take she is living in your heart" Sincerely Karen Care - Posted by: Karen Care (friend of famil) on: Jun 05, 2013

• Our family is so blessed that Fran shared her love of life and so many joyous times with us. Fran had all of the qualities of a saint...she was loving, caring, generous, honest and above all else she was always there when you needed her. She gave so much love and support to others...while only expecting a hug in return. She was "simply the best" wife, mom, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend that any one could ever ask for. Words alone cannot express our sense of sorrow and grief. Our thoughts, prayers and hugs are with Paul, Krista, Lisa, Carter and Josie as you mourn your immense loss and celebrate Fran's life journey at the same time. May you and Pepsi both soar with the eagles Fran. Luv ya... Rick, Danielle, Christine, Lisanne and John. - Posted by: Rick Lambert (Friend ) on: Jun 04, 2013

• What to say about such a good person as Fran. They always say not to put off what you want to do tomorrow because tomorrow might never come. Well Fran, Lee and I did put off our occasion of meeting for supper to reminisce and tomorrow will never come for us.
