Francine to which I always lovingly referred to as Franc was one of my lifelong treasured friends…In Jr. High School we became friends and remained so for all time and she continues to be one of my most treasured friends…As all people in life we drifted in and out of each others life and always cherished those moments when we could actually be in the same space at the same time…I made trips to Victoria Canada for my work and that is where I had the honor of meeting Doug and periodically through the years I got to visit with the two of them…I will always feel the loss of one of my childhood into adulthood friends…I have always loved Franc and will always love her until we have the opportunity to see one another again…Rest well my friend you are truly loved and missed….
Fran I think of you often and miss you even more. I have peace knowing you are not in pain and watching over us. Rest in peace and know I love and miss you! Mary
I look forward to the day we meet face to face Fran. Although we never met I still felt as if we knew each other and were friends all because of a special lady we both love – Raande! Thank you so VERY much for the beautiful scarf you made for me that Raande gave me on Christmas Day. I will cherish this scarf and think of you every time I wear it. Rest in peace Fran – you will NEVER be forgotten!
Francine was one of only a few friends I had in high school. What I most remember about her was her sense of humor and how friendly she was. We lost touch after high school and got back in touch through Facebook this past year. I always enjoyed her posts and how she used humor to get her through the tough times. One of my fondest memories of her is that she invited the whole female class of ’74 to a slumber party that took place in a huge barn near what I think was her grandmother’s place. It was a beautiful area past Elk City. At one point, someone thought it would be a good idea to go down to the river and skinny dip. I did not partake, being way to shy to shed my clothes helter-skelter and bare my nakedness to one and all, but many of the other girls did. I offer my deepest condolences to the close family and friends of Francine.
Dear Fran, when I think of you, my heart smiles. You lived life to the fullest, and always in a positive manner. I know you will be missed by many. Thank you for showing me how you loved friends. Take care Beautiful Lady, I hold your memory in my heart. Love to all, Glenda
I’ve known Frannie since we were very small, I would say 3-4 years old. She lived next door to my grandmother, so we used to play all the time. I’ve known her since that time and we have had some fun times together. We used to go spend the night with her grandma out in Elk City way out in the country. Her mom was my Brownie Scout leader and we had some interesting experiences there. Even though there were periods where we were separated for years, the moment we saw each other, we could pick right up on the conversation we had started years or months earlier. Now that’s a true friend. I’ve always loved her and loved the crafting side of her. We used to sell her home made products in our store downtown. She was simply the best, a very beautiful woman inside and out. We will all be missing her. Rest in peace Francine. We love you thank you for letting us fill your life.
Oh Sweet Fran, How missed you are. You were the best Rainbow Big Sister when I was a kid, and such a wonderful friend later in our lives on FB. I miss your daily presence, I know you are making people smile in heaven.
Darling, Adorable Fran –
I appreciate every one of the special times we were able to share together.
Your talent – your ability to create anything you desired was so incredible!
Your love of life and your sense of humor in the face of it all will be a lesson for the rest of us.
We miss you dear one!
Love always – your puddleduck suz
Most days I think of you and smile. Today, reading through these memories I am crying happy tears. You touched so many lives. I miss you but know we can be together again. I love you my life long friend, Raande
