Love you, Grandma. Not a day goes by I don't think about the legacy of love and kindness you left. Miss you so much and miss going over to your house on the fourth and watching all the fireworks ❤ Love you so much and can't wait to see you again.

The holidays are upon us once more. And they just get harder and harder to deal with now that Ray, you and Marv are not here to  make us all happy.  Think of you every day without fail and miss you more and more.    Holidays will not be the same for your family and friends.  ❤❤❤

Here it is 5-months and there have been no wonderful and funny  phone calls; almost Halloween and no funny card from you and Marv what am I to do, what is your family to do?  You are missed so much and remembered daily.  Are you and your handsome hubby still dancing?  Blessings to both of you dear friend

I happened to glance at death notices in the Orange County Retirement newsletter & came across Fran's name! I was saddened & surprised. I worked with Fran at OCTD (now OCTA). She was such a nice & pleasant lady to work with--nice personality and I good memories of working with her.

I love you Mom and want so bad to talk to you again, 3 months gone feels like eternity.  Dad couldn't wait any longer to be with you.  Miss you mom and Love you

One Month Mom you've been gone - you are missed so much!  I Love YOU!!

Fran,you left such a beautiful legacy, your Family.
Your grandchildren gave such poignant eulogies, through their tears you could hear the love and special memories they shared with you, it was so very touching. Your secret is out, we now know the special ingredient besides your love that made your pumpkin  pies so special.
We were always Forever Friends,starting with grammar school in the forties,and on to high school in the fifties. I Treasure these memories.
My first camping trip and being away from home was with you and your family at the beach, a tradition you gifted to your children, your mom was a fantastic cook, another tradition you continued, sharing your culinary talents with everyone.
There isn't space enough to pen all the wonderful memories I have of our  special friendship .
I miss you so,dear friend.
Love, Lori

Please say this has all been a bad dream!!   Friends from 1978 at OCTD to the present and oh my goodness those over an hour phone calls.  I will miss you and wonderful memories forever Fran as will my family.

Frances was family.  Best friends with my mother, Helen Judd, for nearly 50 years.  Frances was always there for Helen with a smile and a laugh, rain or shine, fun or not.  I will always be grateful for her warm, generous, unconditional friendship and love to our whole family.  I will miss Frances dearly.  Love, Laura Wolfe

You were a great neighbor and I will always be thankful the house we chose to live in was next door to you.  I will sorely miss seeing and talking with you and I will not forget you.
