I’m sorry to read of the loss of Mrs. Frances E. Sharrow. My thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family. Psalms 147:3 says God, “is healing the brokenhearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots.” May God bring you comfort and peace.
We just learned of Fran’s passing, and are still in a state of shock. We’ve known Fran for approximately 7 years, meeting her at the Moose. She was a wonderful person and a great dancer. She will be missed greatly by all. Our sympathy to her family and friend.
There’s not a single day that goes by that I don’t miss you and wish you were still here but the thought of you smiling down from heaven is what gets me through my days thank you for all the love that you instilled into my heart for everything about you I will always be grateful love always your granddaughter
