I'm sorry to hear about your loss.  Your parents were neighbors when my sister, niece, and I lived on E. Elizabeth St.  When we first moved away, my niece always asked about ""The Rickard's"".  To this day, the house on the corner is remembered as ""The Rickard's"".

To Fran's family,
May Fran now truly know the meaning of the ""Peace that passeth all understanding"".  I was a member of the Delta Zeta Alumni group and especially remember the wonderful gift and ornament exchanges over the 25 years that I lived in Fort Collins.  We always looked forward to the beautiful card that would accompany any gift Fran gave.  What a positive and wonderful lady to know!  She will not be forgotten.

Family and Friends,
Fran, also known as Mamaw, made a wonderful difference in my life. As my mother-in-law, she was fantastic. My memories of her are full of fondness and love. What a woman! Her ability to feed a table of friends and relatives at a moment's notice always amazed me. How did she do it? It made my head spin. As a steamstress, Mamaw made me my first maternity dresses. I never did learn to sew like she did. It was impossible. Her grandchildren, David and Joelle, are lucky to have had such a big-hearted grandmother from Colorado who wished they didn't live so far away in Oregon. The words I most want to say are difficult to find.

Memories of times with Fran at Centre will always bring a smile to my face and joy to my heart. It was a blessing to get to spend time with her.
I remember one day as a CNA I was visiting in her room and asked a question. Fran responded with a sparkle in her eyes and a quip.  I completely cracked up and she and I had a good laugh together.  I missed Fran often after going back to school.  She made my day on many occasions.  I truly miss her.

I am a hospice volunteer.  My last visit with Frances was Tuesday, 14 Jan.  I spent the hour talking quietly and reading the Bible.  When I left her room, I touched her shoulder and said goodbye.  She opened her eyes and said quite plainly, ""Thank you for coming!""  Such a gracious woman!  You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I remember the day my niece was married at Rogers Park in Fort Collins.  Fran's family was celebrating someone's birthday earlier that same day.  It was a beautiful day of celebration for our families.
Your mother was a special lady. May she rest in peace as she joins the rest of her family who have gone before her.

Dear Joanne,
I passed your previous home just a few days ago with fond memories of days gone by.
Your Mom was truly the Card Lady--with special thoughts on each remembrance--Dad William, Brother Joe, and Mother Iva.
Your being able to share your Mom's final years must have been a tremendous comfort for her.  She now rests in peace.
I pray God grant you wisdom as you make decisions.
I'm smiling as I think of you.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss.  My prayers are with you and your family.

She was a wonderful LADY, may she rest in peace.
