Fran and Bob were great friends of my parents and when we were younger we spent time with their kids too. Really missed your dad when he passed and your mom was always a loving and caring lady. She will be sadly missed. Dorothy (Burris) Beauch

Dear Kathy, Colleen, and Robin,
Mary Jane informed me that your dear mother passed away and I just want to say how sorry I am to hear the news. I remember your mom as a funny, sweet, and kind person. In times of tears, remember her laughter. In times of sadness remember her smile. Hope it helps you to know you'll have those warm loving memories forever.
With our sincere sympathy.

Fran always had a smile and greeting for me and my wife when we saw her at the fish fry at the American Legion. What a great lady! My condolences to Robin and his sisters. Fran and Bob were great friends with my dad and mom and I have good memories of when us kids were younger.

Miss you
