I was in the choir with Fran at St. Bart's in Wayzata. She was such a delightful lady. She always told us about her visits with her children. And she raved about how Dan took such good care of her. I know you will miss her. My most sincere sympathies on your loss. May God bless you in this difficult time.

Dan (and family),
I am so sorry to hear about Fran. I know it's been a sad, challenging journey for all of you. (I'm still on mine with my mom.) Hopefully you can find lots of joy in years of good memories and comfort in knowing that Fran is free from the tangle of AD.
I miss you here on Rapid Response. It just isn't the same without you and your positive outlook. I miss you and our chats.
Take care of YOU now......

Dan,
I send greetings and condolences on behalf of the Maya Society of Minnesota and the board of directors. You and Fran are an integral part of our history and your work with us was greatly appreciated and we miss you!
Skip and I are especially thinking of you in your loss, and resonate with the journey you have been on, as we were on it with Skip's mom. I remember Fran's good humor, beautiful smile, and willingness to pitch in on whatever needed to be done. You are both fondly remembered and missed by your old friends in the group.
Blessings on you and your family,
