You are a awesome angel and you are up in heaven with Jesus our Lord and Savior
Not knowing her except when she was little, her passing has caused me to look back at the old neighborhood on North Lee in Fitzgerald. I remember “Fannie” as Beth and Becky’s little sister who was about the cutest little girl I’d ever seen….always laughing with a beautiful smile and long bouncy curls. I was about 8 or so and loved being at the Goff household where good memories were. May God grant all of you peace at this time.
Beth and Family, my prayers are with you all as you celebrate the life of your precious Fran. I have no doubt she is celebrating her new life right now. May God bless and comfort you all and fill you with His peace….
We all have a void in our hearts right now, yet we have gained an angel forever. May God wrap his arms around this beautiful family and grant them peace and serenity. I love and miss you Fran.
Fran touched us all in so many special ways. She was loved by many. I know she is basking in our fathers glory. I pray soon, each of you turn that pain into smiles of beautiful memories of her, she would expect that from us all. Bless this family oh Lord!
My prayers are with you. I know how much Fran loved her family and friends. I can just see her now in heaven making a batch of the best pickles anyone has ever tasted. God be with you at this sad time.
Becky and family, so very very sorry for the loss of Fran, may you all find peace and comfort in knowing that she is no longer in pain and is not suffering. Praying for the love and peace of our Lord Jesus for you all.
Godspeed my friend.
Love Calvin
Fran was a special person!! I will always remember her smile and chocolate covered cherries. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Fran for sure is now pain free and massaging the angels. Love and prayers, Beth Savage
Fran I look forward to seeing you in heaven. What a wonderful, beautiful person you are.
I did not know Fran that well nor did I spend alot of time around her. What time I was around Fran I adored her. She was full of life and love. Fran was about God, country and family. Her personality was as big as all outdoors. God has taken a special angel home. Becky my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this very difficult time. Fran will always have a place in my heart. Mike Perry
We will see Fran again! love to her family and friends. she is rejoicing in heaven. Gary and Susan McKinney
to my old jr high pal, I will always remember how full of life you were, quick with a smile for everyone and I firmly believe you are now with the savior and are smiling ear to ear as normal. May the Peace of God be with your family now.
Fran, I am so sorry, Prayers for you and your friends during this difficult time!!
Cassie,
I am sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I remember her smile and enthusiasm as we worked together on Kennedy Elementary activities and how nice she was to Ann Marie when you played together. She will be missed by many. I will keep your family in my prayers.
