Condolence: Dear Fran, Rest in Peace. You worked hard, loved and lived. Dear Family, She loved you all deeply. You'll miss her. My sympathy, Anne Gilliam, retired Joplin rural mail carrier.

Condolence: So sorry for the loss of Fran. I have many fond memories of her and her family. She always made me feel like I was part of the family. Most of all because of her I have had a long time friendship with Lori and her family! She will be greatly missed! Love to everyone at this sad time. May your many happy memories help you in the coming days!

Condolence: So sorry to hear about a special person that was a very big part of my life as a young women. May she rest in peace and know that God in good. May those who loved her remember her love and devotion to her children and grandchildren. God Bless each of you.

Condolence: Gera and all family. I had the pleasure of meeting Fran back in Gera's baseball days. I loved her from the moment we met. She always had a smile and a kind word. She was a hard worker, yet never missed a practice or a game. She told me that what ever I needed to let her know. Always took her turn in the concession stand and never complained. I remember I called her one evening. She says Hello. I said hello Fran, where was my girl tonight? She said. Oh crap. Did we miss practice? I said no. I just wanted to talk. As best as I can remember--she called me a turd. Although I had not seen her in a spell I have thought about her often. I'll miss that smile. I'll miss that devoted mom. I'll miss that beautiful lady. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Condolence: Gera, I am so sorry for your loss. I am thinking of you and your family in your time of loss. If you need anything please let me know.
