Fran was the intellectual heartbeat of our family gatherings. I always admired how she could weave her extensive reading into our daily lives, ensuring she always had something to offer in every conversation we shared.
Beyond her sharp mind, it was her integrity that defined her. She lived with a sense of purpose and a commitment to her principles that was truly inspiring. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as a mother-in-law and a role model.
I am missing her every day . . . catching myself asking what would Fran have said?

To my lifelong pen pal and favorite advisor: Thank you for every book recommendation, every piece of wisdom, and every letter. Your love for travel and your endless curiosity helped to shape the way I see the world. Thank you, Grams, for teaching me to keep asking questions. I’m carrying your spirit of exploration with me, always.

Q: How did you meet Frances?
A: I met Frances in a class at the YMCA and she started talking about her garden at the community center. After receiving information from her, my husband and I started a garden at the same place. Since our gardens were near each other, we often shared tips on our garden.
I also spoke to Frances before or after classes at the YMCA, mostly about travel and health.

I met Fran while volunteering at our library book store. We also attended the library book club and saw each other at Body Balance classes at the YMCA. I always enjoyed seeing her at the Y so we could commiserate on how tough the class was. At the library we would discuss our impressions of whatever book we had been reading. She always had a smile on her face. I miss seeing her.

Grams, I will forever and always cherish our memories made together. You were a joy to be around and made life so fun. My favorite memory is traveling around the islands of Greece with you and watching you live life to the fullest.
