To Fran's Family,
I met Fran in 1993 at Summerville Medical Center,when we worked together as Nurses, I had just moved here from Virginia. I remember her to be very nice and always helpful when you needed something. I left Summerville in 1995 to work at MUSC, then oneday I came to work to see Fran working on my floor in 2002,2003? It was good to see her again. She was a good Nurse, you should be proud.

To Fran's family:
Please know how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Fran was a good friend and I will miss her. She was a wonderful, knowledgable, caring nurse when we worked together. I am glad God gave her to me for a little while to be my friend.
