I worked with Fran in Inspections and Appeals. We just saw each other a few months ago and we talked about days gone by and played catch up on people we'd worked with and who had already retired. So sorry to hear of Fran's passing.

Kristin, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your mom were so good to me as we gathered in your home many times before and for dance. She was so talented, painting many of our backdrops. I saw her at Darlenes passing and she was so grateful for You, life, and those in her life. My prayers will be with you Kristin. Perhaps she and Darlene are crafting something beautiful. Peace,
Mary
