I really enjoyed visiting Fran when she lived in Monona. She loved her cat, Guy, and told me so many stories of her life. I loved listening to her and I enjoyed her quick wit. She was always so sweet and kind to me. I can't wait to see her in heaven someday. My prayers go out to her family.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Please find comfort in God's sure promise of a resurrection as set forth in the Bible. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28,29) Those who are raised to life will have the prospect of never again being subjected to misery, sickness, or death. (Revelation 21:4) I hope that reflecting on these thoughts will give you some relief during this difficult time.
