Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

I am so glad to have an opportunity to say how sad I was to hear of Fran's passing. She was a great companion to my Dad & a wonderful person in her own right. My condolences go out to both her her sons & their families. I also want to thank my brother Bob for being such a steadfast visitor to her. Ivy, also did a great job in years past. For the past many years I was only able to call her & she was so happy to hear my voice as I was calling from Panama, Central America. This was the easier way to keep in touch. So rest in Peace, my girl, we will all miss your wonderful, calm manner & wonderful upbeat attitude. Love Terry. - Posted by: Terry Miller (oldest step daughter) on: May 20, 2018
