A poem dedicated to Fran and how we felt about her

So Rare

Her joy is what we'll remember most
how her laughter filled the air
Her kindness, well, noone comes close
She was one in a million, so rare

She encouraged us, pressed us to excel
sometimes lifted us from despair
She always saw our better angels
She was a gift to us, so rare

The lessons she taught us, we'll hold dear
and the love she showed, we'll share
To honor her, let us keep her path
and walk a righteous road, so rare

We truly adored her and ask ourselves
How can we live without her here?
But God has called her, to her heavenly home
where the angels now say, so rare
