I didn't know Nanny for long but I knew her long enough to know that she was loving and passionate. Her smile, her lovely smile, I feel as if sometimes I can still see it shine down from heaven. Nanny lived in this world for 96 years, and each one starting from the day she was brought into the world, to the day she left, made the world a much better place. Only the people around her were the ones to notice. Rest peacefully Nanny, I still think about you often, I hope we meet again one day.

Dearest beloved sister, Fran. I still miss you just as I did the day you left. Life is not the same without you and so many times I want to call you up and talk to you. I just pray that you are at peace and I look forward to the day when we can hopefully meet up again with a big hug like we used to do. Loving you always and forever, Betty

I miss you like crazy. I was in costco yesterday and remembered when we went and walked around looking at everything and trying samples. I loved when we got churros for the ride home and you loved it so much you scarfed it down saying you hadn't had one since you were young. All these memories of you, the little things.. makes me long for you. Happy Birthday Nanny. You were the most important and beautiful person in the world to me. I love you and miss you, till we meet again.

Hi Nanny,
Unfortunately I never met you, but it feels as though I know you well thanks to so many great memories Dawn has shared with me over the last 15 years. The way she so often talks about you, it's obvious what a uniquely kind, funny, loving, and selfless person you were. I regret not getting to meet you, but I look forward to Dawn introducing us in heaven.
Love,
Eric

3 years since you have been gone and I still miss you. Our visits and phone calls. So many memories through the years.  So many times I want to go to the phone and call you and then I feel the loss of you leaving me feeling sad.  I am so glad that you were my sister and that you gave me so many great memories that live in my heart. Rest in peace
Fran I love you.

I can't believe it's been 3 years. It feels like it was yesterday. I miss you and love you so much. I miss our late night talks and snack sessions at the kitchen table. I miss everything about you. The pain of your loss never goes away. You were the most beautiful person.

What can I say about my sister in just a few words. It would actually take a book to tell all that she meant to me. I was the baby of seven brothers and sisters and Fran was 8 years old when I was born. There were two boys between us so she became my playmate at times and my other Mom at others.

She was not afraid of anything and always so creative and fun. She shared so much of her life with me that I'm sure I was a "pain in the neck" at times. We all knew that she was our Dad's favorite. She was even named after him. Franklin Eugene Palmer and Frances Jean Palmer.

She and her best friend, Ethel, were a good pair and had a lot of fun together. She loved to dance and Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies were a must see with her. Even in our old age we would remind each other when their movies would be showing on T.V.

She loved music, especially Frank Sinatra, cards, sewing, knitting,etc.
Life with my sister was never dull even when she got into her golden years. I will always miss her and so sorry that we didn't get that last visit we were planning. Also sorry that I couldn't be there for her Memorial but I will hold her in my heart and memories until we meet again. I love you Fran and I am so grateful that you were one of my big sisters.

Aunt Fran - I am going to miss you tremendously! You have always been such a constant part of my life, that it's hard to imagine anything else. What an inspiration you have been and the memories that you have left will stay with me always. Thank you for the many stories that you have shared with me. Age should show no limits, and you did that for me!! As a child you were always my progressive, strong, energetic, family oriented aunt. As an adult you became a confidant, friend, and someone that I enjoyed spending time with. When I went through my breast cancer surgery last year - you and Dawn were so thoughtful with sending me meals and homemade chicken soup! I will never forget that and all of your thoughtfulness, stubborness (lol - those April people), your love of family, (picnics - going back to Knowland Park in Oakland) and your genuine love.that you showed to Darrell, Jennifer, Arielle and myself through the years. I am grateful for all of the wonderful memories and stories that you have been a part of. Thank you for being such a great sister to my mom, an awesome Aunt to me and someone that we all can look up to. You were so much fun and I hope that our family can keep those family reunion picnics going in honor of you!! I will always love and have the best memories of you!! Rest in peace and know that you have left behind an amazing legacy in your family, immediate and all of the rest of us!! Love you always !!
