I am Red and Helen Smith's granddaughter. Just heard this sad news. Frances was a good neighbor to Grandma for many years on Leafland St. I remember her bringing donuts over, and being very kind. She said I was a "pistol." You all were "like family." I am so sorry for your loss.
Fran was one of the funnest and nicest persons I have known. Every time I ran into her it was always "Wiggie, how are you. I am very sorry for your loss. Judy Wiggins
I was lucky enough to work with Fran a little bit at Prairie State Bank. She was a sweet and very funny lady----I am very sorry to hear of her passing and will miss her very much.
My mother called me last night about Fran's passing away and I saw the obituary posted today in the Thursday, February 24th, 2011 edition of the Herald & Review on page D3.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of you all. As a little girl I thought of Frances the craziest lady that I ever met. I love both of you!!! Take care. Prayers for you and your family.
Alan and I are so sorry to hear about Fran passing away. She will sure be missed, God Bless all of you.
Fran will be greatly missed. I new her for a short time working with her at Prairie State Bank & Trust. I always enjoyed her sense of humor. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
Sincerley,
Deb Hunter
