We will never ever forget Fran our friend and co-worker for so many years at Equibank in the North Hills..she was so loving to her children from the time they were babies and we watched them grow to such nice kids..Fran was such a hard worker and supporter of her family.  I remember our group trip of friends to Ohiopyle and shooting the rapids with Fran...we will both remember and miss her always.  She is definitely in the hands of God now and is looking down upon us.  God bless her entire family.

Dear family of Fran;
Fran and I were very good friends at Mellon and afterwards.  Yesterday and this morning I had on my call list to call her.  I was truly shocked to read her name in the paper.  I will miss her deeply.  She was a wonderful person and 
she spoke always of her wonderful, beautiful children. And of her terrific sisters.
I shall continue to keep her in my prayers.  God was waiting with open arms for HER.

I was so sorry to hear about my dear cousin, Fran!  I have always admired Fran for being such a strong, hard-working woman. She always seemed so energetic and even when she decided to finally retire, she told me how she planned on volunteering.  She was a wonderful mother, sister, cousin, to many who loved her.  My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
