Tom, I am saddened by the news and so very sorry for the loss of your Mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. A few words from something I read recently.
Come To Me
God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be,
so He put his arms around you and whispered,
"Come to Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away,
and although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

Dear Tom and Family,

Joe, Sorry for the loss of your mother. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
Condolences to you and your family Tom. I have never met your mom but with the stories you'd tell us about her made me feel like I know her personally. Thank you for visiting us at work the other night and I know it was very hard for you to come by at midnight, given the circumstance, just to say goodbyes to us. My prayers goes out to you and your family.
Dear Tom and Family – I was saddened to hear of the loss of such a wonderful and kind woman. My prayers are with your mom and all of the family during this difficult time.
I think I adopted Fran as my surrogate mother and best friend the moment I first met her. Other than my spouse, I have never loved anyone more.
Please accept Sean & my sympathies for this great loss.
You are all in our prayers, as is Fran.
I will never forget her.
I will never forget Frans' humor, her laugh and that smile she always greeted me with when I came to see her. She will always have a special place in my heart and I will never forget her. I am proud to be able to call her a friend. Until we meet again Fran, God Bless. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.
Fran is a beam of light. She is of goodness and grace. When we met Fran she was looking ahead to retirement and was so very present in the moments of caring for her family and friends. She introduced us to Tom in support of his brilliant photography work at the time our our wedding. Fran was involved. Her descriptions of holiday preparations, special meals for all who were expected at her table, and home renovation projects were both inspiring to hear about and exhausting to imagine. I can picture her filled with enthusiasm as she described a renovation project at home. She'd go on about the exact hue of paint she'd been using and then reach out her hand to show a tiny fleck of paint on her nail to get the point across. Her humor was matched only by the depth of her caring for her loved ones. What a heart. She made everyone understand they were loved. Generous of spirit, Fran always paired a kind word with a savvy piece of advice. To Fran's family, our deepest sympathy. To Fran, everlasting peace for the love you have shared and the example you've set for all of us. Thank you. May God bless you and keep your light alive.
Love, Jan and Joe
Rob and Thomas I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with your family at the time. God bless.
We are very sorry for your loss. Fran was a lovely lady and she will be missed.
love,
Bert and Will
We were so fortunate to have know Fran if only for a short while. Her laughter was infectious as was her personality. Her sense of humor mirrored that of Tom's and she always had a smile when we saw her. She will be missed.
I am so sorry Tom. Even though I never met her, she seemed like such a beautiful person from all the stories you would always tell about her. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Dear Tom and family, Tom you were one of the first faces I saw when I came out of my lung biopsy and intubation. You brought me warm blankets and stayed up with me late into the night. You were a beam of light and so caring and warm-hearted. I will never forget that. Most importantly, you got that from your mom. Your sense of humor and your ability to make people forget they're in grave danger is something you got from your wonderful mom. I can see you in pictures of her. I hope that this transitional time for you comes with the love and support of your friends and family. And, I wish your family strength, courage and Godspeed. Tim and I send you love. Bless your mom, who will soon be in heaven looking down on you and making sure you grace more lives with your wit, charm and nurturing qualities….like you've graced mine. Love, Paul & Tim.
Fran was one of the most loving, caring and selfless people I have ever met. Nothing was more important to her than her family & close friends. She loved you all so much.
I pray you all find peace in your hearts, knowing she is in a better place. She will be missed dearly, but the Fedoras have one amazing angel watching over them now.
We love you all, and pray you find the strength to get through this together. We are here for you all.
Love, The Klein Family
Im so sorry Tom, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
