    Fran was so nice to me, with a heart of gold.

    She worked tirelessly, both as a school bus driver, and at Shaw’s, to ensure that her family’s needs were always met.

    I will never forget her, and her warm smile.

    Rest in Peace Fran.

  4. My memories of Fran are when I worked with her at the Beverly School Transportation office.
    Hard working lady. The students loved her. Always admired her work ethic and how devoted she was to her jobs. Fran, you can rest now. May God hold you close.
