So sorry to hear of Fran's passing. I met Fran about 24 years ago when she came to Connecticut to work her expertise on the electronic equipment in Aetna data entry. Our friendship continued via email. It was always a joy to see all the fabulous wood crafts she made. She sent me a couple magnets that I will always treasure. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Fran's family. God Bless!

Fran wasn't just a good friend, she was a great friend. I met Fran 35 years ago at a lumber store picking out wood to make something special for her great niece and nephew. Our friendship started out over a stack of 1 x 12's and grew into a lasting friendship. There are many wonderful memories, from fishing to spending a New Years Eve with her and her Mom, eating Mexican food, strawberry cake and playing Canasta. I will miss our conversations, and will never forget her laugh. May god wrap his arms around Ruby and family and give them strength to endure.

Fran was a terrific "aunt" to me as her best friend Georgia Ann was my mother's sister. I always looked forward to going to Hawkins to visit as I knew Georgia and Fran always had something special planned for us. I will miss her "WalMartians" e-mail. God's blessings to you and may your heartache be replaced with wonderful memories. Jimmy B. Rollins
