Dear Bruce, Jenny, Mindy, and Laura
I have such fond memories of Fran as a fellow teacher at Dr Clark School and then as a wonderful mom when the girls were students at Dickinsfield. Fran’s gentle way with children drew the respect of her colleagues. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Bruce, Jenny, Mindy and Kevin, and Laura and Holly and Dean,
We are so saddened to hear of Fran’s death and want to offer our condolences and prayers for comfort to all of you. Fran was my steady rock next door during my first year of teaching Grade 2 at Dr. Clark. She was so calm and kind; always willing to lend a hand and give quiet advice to quell my first year jitters. I remember her gentle smile and generous spirit and will never forget her kindness. We mourn with you the loss of your beautiful wife, mother and grandmother. May God be with you all.
