Goodbye my precious Fran. You will be with your beloved John forever. I will see you someday again. I miss you both, but only for a time.
Fran and John were more than my employers in the years past, they were like family; and they were the very best. I love them dearly.
There are no words that will express how much Aunt Fran and Uncle John meant to me when I was growing up.
Fran enjoyed life and sharing her light hearted way, that to a child, created a feeling that everything was always going to be OK. Fran was one of those ‘real-life’ movie stars that sparkled with indelable loving memories that will never, ever leave me. What a gift to us all, she is.
Nancy C Simmons. Your candle still burns in my heart. I love you and miss you.
