Love & Prayers Joyce
I’ve missed Fran since her retirement. She was always warm, pleasant, and fun to be around. It’s very hard to accept that someone like that is really gone. My deepest sympathy to her family. Know that she will be remembered fondly.
Fran was a valued member of Sprinker Tennis Center’s ladies 3.0 tennis team for many years. She was a fierce competitor, never gave up and could always be counted on to play her heart out! We missed having Fran around after her PLU retirement. Fran was a wonderful lady and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ron, Marie and family.

Our thoughts are with you, Ron. We will hold those memories close of the times we were all together boating & skiing, sharing books, working cross-word puzzles, playing games, just talking. We loved Fran a lot.

Ron,
My thoughts are with you. My condolences to you, Marie and the entire family. Too young and way too soon. In tough times stay close to your friends…..I’m proud to be one of many. See you soon.
Marie Ron & Sean too,
I know it’s been forever since we last spoke or saw each other, but I heard about your mother and I couldn’t believe it.
I want you to know that I am praying for your family and all that you’re dealing with right now. Please know that regardless of time and distance, people from your past are struggling to understand this as well. I remember your mom with fondness, as I’m sure does everyone else! There were slumber parties, the days of St. Vincent’s and then Bellarmine that have played through my mind these past few days. Within each memory, your mom remains a woman of patience, compassion, love and understanding.
Remember to use the Lord as your Rock…He promises never to forsake you!
Most Sincerely,
Anne Weber

Marie, I was very sorry to read your email to the Kelley community and learn of your mother’s passing. We enjoyed meeting her and the rest of your family at your wedding. I feel she and I would have been good friends. It seems much too early in your life fo r have lost your mother, but I know she and your father prepared you well for a good life. I wish you and Sean all the best. We often think of you both when we enjoy dinner from the China Cafe. Thanks for your time at Bishop Kelley. Neta
All our loving prayers from the Jabbours.
