Dear Granbo Family,

Fran was such a ball of energy. She and Bob kindly took us under their wings and taught us to curl many years ago at the Cleveland Skating Club. They showed us the ropes and ushered us through the social scene, the ever-important points of etiquette, and the joy of competition. We treasure our memories with Fran and Bob.

Dear Grambo Family,
We want to share our condolences to you. Fran was such a welcoming person who was always on the go and learning and sharing her expertise, a role model. Our paths crossed in the curling world. We so enjoyed curling with Fran and Bob at the Cleveland Skating Club; traveling north of the boarder to curl in the coldest rink ever was a laugh a minute as we tried to keep from freezing and wanting the "Americans" to have a good showing.
So wonderful to have had Fran in our lives.

Condolences to Frances family and friends. Frances was truly my favorite. Me and her shared many laughs, hugs, cheek kisses, and lots of handing holding. She was my person at work. She was the first person i see in the morning and the last person id see before leaving my shift. She will be truly missed by so many, especially the St Eds 2nd floor family.
