I am so sad to hear of Fran’s passing. I will always remember her beautiful voice and cheery presents. Loved having her around.
Maureen McKenna says
Long ago in the St. James choir, I always loved how Fran could sing those high notes and especially as she topped off “The First Noël” – heavenly! …a very special lady in that and in her humility regarding such a talent.
