  1. We remember you well and always in good spirits. You were a very special women. Love to your family and friends. RIP.

  2. Francie and I were forever friends. She was so special. It was rare for her not to be cheerful. Our class of ’56 girls met for lunch monthly for years. We all loved our East High reunions. I am sure Francie will be making everyone in Heaven a little happier but the rest of us will miss her until together again. She loved all her family so much and always bragged about each of you. I am so sad the weather is keeping me from attending her service. Love, Cheryl
