    Sincere condolences to Fran's entire family.  Fran was my next door neighbor for the last 18 years.  She suffers no more and for that I  am thankful.....Rest in peace Fran.

    Sorry to hear of Francine's passing.  Our sincere sympathy to her wonderful family.


    Those we love don't go away,
    They walk beside us every day,
    Unseen, unheard, but always near,
    Still loved, still missed and very dear.
