Frannie was always willing to help and support everyone while working at Colonial UniServ. We missed you when you retired, but were glad you had a chance to enjoy your Jimmy Buffet and margaritas. Prayers, healing, and comfort to the family.

Missed you after you moved. I always enjoyed our dinners at Spring Garden after the VEA meetings. That restaurant is gone too but they were good memories.
