Sorry for your loss.
Christine Taylor says
I didn’t know Francere but I Know Charly Streeter an awesome lady, hearing my friend express her love for this lovely being who has returned home to god gives me a better understand Francere was on this earth to help anyone family friend or stranger stall on the path. Charly said Francere was a mother to her and grandmother to her children, I might be wrong but I’m guessing lady Francere was a really strong lady who had a profound affect on others and I’m guessing she began to reflect in so many good ways to those who knew her personally. Charly always tells me to stay strong and pray and let god handle what makes us upset. I’m sad for the family and friends of Lady Francere because of there lost but she is probably spread out amongst you all so profoundly you think she is gone but you all keep her so dear in your heart and actions.
Christine Taylor says
I didn’t know Francere but I know Charly Streeter, she is my friend and i respect her guidance, she told me how hurt she is that she lost Francere. I could be wrong but i believe i met Francere because i know Charly and not that Charly isn’t her own person but when we look up to someone when take on their qualities. Francere obviously had great qualities because the family and friends that will miss her might feel lost but sounds like Francere has spread her qualities profoundly amongst you all 🙂 Thank Francere you will be missed but every friend and family missing you has you in there hearts still!
John J. O'Ryan says
Charrly,

My condolences for your loss, as a family. But surely, it’s more than that. The world lost one of it’s soldiers, but gained an angel. May her spirit be remembered, and her soul rest in peace! Blessings to those who she touched. May they find peace in her transformation.

I was so saddened to find out that Francere had passed away. She and I went to Jr. High together and had classes together at MD Bradford High School. I had hoped to see her at our 50th High School reunion and catch up on old times. She was a sweet, sweet girl and I know her family will miss her. My condolences to all of her family.
