Fran had a smile that caught the eye of everyone around her. Her heart was filled with so much love. You never had a bad day when working with Fran. We have lost an amazing woman who touched many people.
Fran was the most upbeat person I have ever met, she remembered everything we ever talked about, family, friends, work, she was very supportive of my daughter that worked with her and always, always made me feel special. I hope Fran entered heaven knowing that she meant the world to all of us at CentraCare. Fran, you will be missed but know that you made a difference in every life that you touched.
Fran has become more than just a coworker to me, she became a grandmother figure to me and helped me thru one of the toughest events in my life. She was more then a shoulder to cry on she was a support system. That smile she gave me made the day better! I will miss her dearly! Heaven is a lucky place to have her but she will be missed here on earth but will never be forgotten! Hugs!
