Denise, I never met your mother but feel that I know her through you. She must have been one fantastic woman to have raised such a great daughter. You and your family are in my prayers. Love, Bonnie

We have lost a good friend and a beautiful lady. We are so sorry not to be able to come, but we want you to know what a wonderful person we thought Fran was. I will miss her postings on Facebook. She was always such an inspiration to me. She loved so much. You could not help but love her in return. She will be so missed. I know her loss will leave a hole in your family. She was so proud of her family. I was so thrilled to be able to keep up with everyone. She was the neighbor everyone would want.
We are so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Gene and Janice Ekiss
