My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I remember the many years that I visited my grandma’s house Mildred Weber on Mt. Thielson and couldn’t wait to see Fran and Si. I wish you all the best in the coming new year. Fran was a wonderful, caring person who I will mess greatly. Karen & Family, please take care.

We missed our dear friend Fran Barnes when she moved fromVancouver,
and we will miss her more now that she has gone to her heavenly home.
We are happy to have been with her at an 80th birthday celebration in
Vancouver a few months ago.
There are many pleasant memories of Si and Fran attending various school
activities involving Karen and our daughter Janice. Fran was a gracious lady,
always neat and caring. Friends meant a lot to her, from church friends, to
bridge club, to everyone she met.
May God bless Karen’s family and the extended family.

Your parents were neighbors of mine on Mt. Thielson for 15 years, and became good friends. I enjoyed them both very much and am sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing; she was a very nice person. Our thoughts are with you at this time.
