I got to know Fran at Enders Road Elementary(my husband already knew her through tennis). She was amazing with the kids & I always enjoyed running into her on my walks through Academy Hill. What a wonderful person!

Fran was a saint who walked among us - her compassion, caring and a strong desire to help those in need are an example of a wonderful, wonderful person. It was a gift to work with her and also share a friendship. Fran’s generous nature took her far beyond Central New York. The very fond memories we all have will remain always. Her spirit will inspire us to be more caring and compassionate.
