Aunt Fran was a one of a kind and wonderful woman. She had a kind heart and sharp Irish witty sense of humor. The twinkle in her eyes with her wonderful smile are etched upon my soul. I loved her very much and always looked forward to my visits with her upon my stays in Ks. Including playing cards of course! Love, “ The Weak Sister” in cards Andrew Obermeier ( and family)

Aunt Fran was a very calm, collected lady. She and Joe were very funny. Intelligence and common sense ruled. Lovely to chat with, and very interesting lady. Fran knew how to have fun, well into her life, she was still going... You wanted to have her by your side in a crisis for sure. She was very much like her brother, Russ, my dad. It was a pleasure to know Fran, and a blessing to have her as an aunt and a friend. Yes, this very cool lady will sorely be missed. RIP Frannie!
