So shocked to see Frannie name here. She was my cousin and had not seen her for years as living in different parts of the country but she was a fun, kind and loving soul. To all the family, our sincere condolences. She has left too soon, but will reunite with  other family members who have passed on before her.  You are now singing with the angels and a lovely chorus it will be.

We were friends for a very long time, but life took us different directions at times, but we recently renewed
 our friendship and had many hearty laughs, as Fran loved to  laugh.  We spent time walking down memory
lane with thoughts of old friends and good times.  We recently joined the Exercise Group at the Coronation
Centre and were getting is shape ( we thought). It is too sad to find a good friend and then lose them again
so soon.  Knowing Fran, she will be up there doing all the right things, so I will have to get busy with  my
exercise program to catch up to her one day. Love you Fran and miss you. 

I am a friend from Music Circle.
Fran sat right beside me and we sang together (just the two of us)....high.high harmony. We laughed and joked a lot.... We had several things in common. We both had 4 children at a relatively early age, and we each had lots of wonderful grands And gr8grands! We both admired strong women and shared lots of stories of the struggles we had encountered through our lives....being single moms, divorce, remarriage, on and on! I always told her I considered her my hero! She was an extremely remarkable example of a strong woman. The softest part of Fran was her heart! I will miss her terribly and my heart goes out to all her family.... I know how much she loved you and she will be watching you! Now she can sing with the angels, using her wonderful talent, for eternity!
I can hear her now! 

A very kind and lovely person, always nice things to say about everyone. We were lucky to have known you! 

Fran was truly a breath of fresh air and an inspiration to all that knew her.
Having only known her for a short time as a neighbour and fellow Church member, we loved her like family.
We cherish all the many conversations we had with her.
May she forever Rest in Peace.



So sad to hear of Fran's passing. What a wonderful person! Fran and I were  "parking neighbours" at the Bellagio, as she described our friendship. The times I would mainly see Fran were when we met in the garage.  We always made time to chat for a few minutes. What an inspirational lady who was so proud of her age and all of the activities she was involved in.  It has been an honour to have had Fran in my life for the short time that I knew her. She will be remembered! Rest in peace beautiful lady!

Fran is the most loving, inclusive individual I have ever had the honor to know.  Every child was precious to her, and everyone was a child. Her laughter, warmth, and kindness bettered everyone she touched.  The world is better because she lived, and lives on.  I’ll miss her hug, but cherish her life. Her life is an example to me of pure love.

Fran will be greatly missed by Don and me as a very special neighbor.
We lost track of time as we sat and talked and reminisced about the past.
Fran loved to talk about her Grand Children and Great Grand Children.  
There was always a story to tell after she spent time with them.
Fran was a very kind and generous person.
Our deepest sympathy to all her extended family.





Fran's lovely voice was a memorable addition to our Coronation Music Circle.  We were going to sing a duet together for August, Take Me Home Country Roads.  My sincere sympathies to all of her extended family.  Her gift of music, will be missed by all who heard her.
