We will always cherish the many memories we have of all the wonderful times we traveled with you and Bernie and we will especially remember your joyful laugh!
Ida and Lilo Santellano

Ms. Franco worked in various offices when I was a teacher at Washington Union. She was unfailingly positive and proactive. She was always helpful in any way she could be even when it wasn’t probably in her job description. I was a new teacher and had been recruited by my students to be their leader for Club Amistad, even though I was a “white girl”! We raised a lot of money for field trips by selling candy. But there were always a few kids who never returned the money. She always got the list from me and was RELENTLESS in tracking them down and bugging them! 
But I most loved her when she stood up for me in a parent meeting. The student was failing math and had told his mother I was “racist against Mexicans“. When his mother said this in the meeting, where Ms. Franco was translating, Ms. Franco didn’t even let me defend myself. My Spanish is weak, but she just told that mom many things about how ridiculous that was. The meeting ended with the mom understanding that her son needed to start studying and doing his work! I always loved her feisty, fairness loving spirit.
Sending love to all of her family. I know you must be missing her!

My condolences to the family, my heart is heavy for you,  God has a beautiful angel who is now looking after all of you. May you Rest In Peace Lupe Franco
