Gerry, Sharon and Jim,
George and I were so sorry to hear of your Mom's loss. We have fond memories of card games with Fran and the gang.

Fran will be dearly missed by her children, Gerry (Cindy), Sharon (Keith), Jim (Cindy); grandchildren Jennifer (Craig), D’arcey (Scott), Kelsey (Connor), and Cameron. Also great-grandchildren, Colton, Leila, and William.

Mom had an unwavering devotion to her family with an infectious smile and personality that left a lasting impression. Mom’s dedication to exercise was truly inspirational.
