So sorry to hear of Fran’s passing, she was a great lady. It was an honor to know her.

I am taken back to my high school days when Fran and Jack were like family to me. I spent many hours in the store talking with them and I still have the ABA basketball jack gave me in 1969 in my closet. Fran was a great lady and my memories will be of her and her awesome spirit. She lived a great life…went to school for a while with my Mother and she remembers those days fondly. God Bless a fantastic person and friend!
I had the pleasure of taking care of both Jack and Fran. They took me down memory lane talking to me about my dad (Bill Danes). Both are icons in our community! She will be missed!
Thoughts and prayers go out to the family
Loving memories of Fran….such a delightful disposition. Always a presence of laughter, excitement and enthusiasm for us girls growing up together, and for all the school activities we were a part of. She was an adult cheerleader in our lives for sure. What a passion for life and making the most of it. You made a difference, Fran!!!
I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Abbott, but she was the same age as my mother. There’s always something special about a mother’s love and we miss them dearly. However, just as Jesus awakened his friend Lazarus from sleeping in death, he can do the same for our loved ones. – John 11:11-14
Such a beautiful soul, always and forever in my heart!
