Fran was like a second mother to me. Her nickname for me was 'brat', but it was always out of love. She was an amazing woman with a huge heart. I consider myself so fortunate to look back on all the many years I spent with the Hickman family with a smile and laugh. She was a fierce and sassy lady and I loved that about her. You will be missed, Fran. 

May you rest in peace. I love you. Michele



PS -- how "ironic" that the funeral home is in Carrollwood, right where I lived in Florida.    'Might be a special message there to my very dear friend.  I will so miss her...

Fran was one of my very best friends for so many years...I often felt we were sisters!  I have all those years of good memories of our friendship and activities stored close in my heart and mind. 

May God continue to bless you, my dear and special friend.   I wish you were still with us, but I know you're in a good place and I look forward to the day we will meet again...we'll have so much to "re-live" and catch up on!!   I miss you so much...

I also think it's amazing that you are now in Carrollwood - did you know or remember that's where I lived 'til I came up north?!  'Small world,,,

Blessings and much love, 
Barbara

Fran has been a dear friend for many years now.  We both loved her as though she was family.  Even though we knew her longer--once she met Jim it was hard to think of one without the other.  They had a such special love and devotion to each other. It was always so good to spend time with them.  We looked so forward to the times they were home in Virginia -- they always made sure they set aside some time with us.  We love you both, and hope that now you are together.  I hope that Jim's wonderful smile was one of the first things Fran saw when she arrived in heaven!


Fran was one of my closest and dearest longtime friends.  She was a special, caring, loving and giving person.   Though we didn't see each other as often lately as we used to, we did stay in touch and thankfully had so many happy years spending time and growing "older" together.   I love her like a sister and cannot quite grasp that she is no longer physically "with us."   I will miss her always.  

 Be at peace my dear friend, watch over us, and know you will never be forgotten.  Hopefully we will meet again...

Love and Hugs,  Barbara (Hatch)
