Franny, my heart is broken yet I feel so blessed to have known you and worked with you even if it was for a brief period of time. You were an inspiration. Your sense of humor made the heavy days seem lighter and brighter; your dedication to the students and to your profession inspired me to be a better teacher; your support would breed unity and collaboration; you were one of a kind and will be deeply missed. Our family sends much love and light to your family. May you all cherish her legacy and soon find peace and comfort in her memory, but I promise, she will always be with you; especially in your hearts. Rest in Peace, my friend; you have succeeded in this life.
