Condolences:

Fran's family,

 My sympathy to all of you for the recent loss of your mother. 

 I had the opportunity to know Fran while I was attending UND in Grand Forks. From 1989-1991, I rented the basement apartment of her home. She was always kind, friendly, helpful and I have nothing but the fondest memories of her. I especially remember her artistic talent. My parents, who live in Nekoma, have a painting that Fran did that I gave to them as a gift.

 With Synmpathy,

Nancy Johnston
