Condolences

Condolence From: Kervyn Smith
Condolence: This area will really miss Fran. Seems like I first remember Fran at Walmart59 in the early 80's when I was involved with advertising there for Ksyn 92.5fm. She was always a big help and knew how to help all the time and seemed to be available. It would seem that she was really the one that was running the store. So nice to read of how she knew Christ. Now she has a young body that looks 25 and a nice big mansion all to her self, specially made by her loving heavenly father. Its the perks of those who love and believe in His son Jesus. O what a wonderful place. May those who knew and loved Fran be blessed and find peace and comfort and true love!

Condolence: I remember Fran from her days as the Customer Service Manager at Walmart #59, on Rangeline. I was an Assistant Manager there for some 10 months. She was always kind to me and willing to "help me out" - i.e. tell me what to do. :) I appreciated her Christian attitude, kind heart and willingness to help others. she will be missed...and remembered.

Condolence From: Sheri Graham
Condolence: I met Fran in 1970 as a new Christian when she held a Bible study at her home I attended weekly. She was the sweetest Christian I ever met. I still have and use the Living New Testament she gave me as I had an old Bible and she wanted me to have a good one for study. I know it was a sacrificial gift as they didn't have much money back then and she was not working yet. She was such a giving person. I treasure it and her wisdom and sweet spirit and am sad for her family she is no longer with us but what a legacy she leaves them.

Condolence From: Stan Trease
Condolence: I have known this fine lady for many, many years. Met her and John at Park Plaza. Also met her sister Linda there while she was visiting from Lordsburg NM. Fran always had a smile. Made you feel good just to see her. My thoughts and prayers are with John, Linda and all the family. So sorry to hear she has left us, but happy knowing she is in the arms of her Heavenly Father, the only person she loved more than anyone. She will be missed by all of us.

Condolence From: David Gandy
Condolence: While I did not know her personally, anyone who went to Wal-Mart knew her. I had several conversations with her over the years.
She was always helpful with anything and every thing. Got a question? Ask Fran. She'll answer it or find someone who could.
Please know that I, and so many others, are so sorry for you loss. But you can take heart in knowing that she is happy and pain free and safe in the arms of Jesus. And you will see her again. I will keep you in my prayers.

God Bless You, Dave Gandy

Condolence From: Kimberly Pelt Nieto
Condolence: I am so very sorry for your loss. Mrs. Watson was a wonderful lady. Her son John Jr. would pick us up for church in the late 70s, early 80s and then later, I would meet Mrs. Watson at church to sit with her. Fran was such a dear lady that loved Jesus with all of her heart. You will always be remembered as a beautiful light. May the Lord comfort you all as only He can. May God's peace be with you.
