"I knew Fran many years ago. The last time I talked with her was shortly after 9/11. She was a wonderful, caring, sweet woman I was proud to call friend. I occasionally wondered whatever became of her. Sadly, when I googled her name, I discovered her passing. I am shocked and saddened. Kim, I don't know if you remember me or not. I am sorry for your loss. I know your mother loved you very much. I am so very glad you gave her grandchildren. I am sure she was a wonderful grandmother. I was hoping to find some other way of contacting you, and googled your name unsuccessfully. May I ask what happened to Fran? If you wish, you may contact me at mitchinindy@gmail.com. Blessings and peace to you."
In loving memory of
Francine Cobb

"Our sincerest condolences to you and yours. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. "
"My deepest condolences to the family. I met Fran while we were both working at Midlantic Bank. Immediately I was drawn to her beautiful smile and her genuine sense of caring and friendliness. Frasn had a strong work ethic and a profound sense of people skills. Fran would give 200% to anything she did, her loyalty to family, friends and neighbors never fluctuated even when she herself was not well. I will miss Fran every day for the rest of my days, and I am proud to have known her and to call her my Friend. I remember one time when Fran quit smoking and I asked her how she felt, she replied, "I always feel like someone slapped me, but it passes". Since Fran's passing I Now feel like Someone slapped Me but I don't feel it will pass.?; I will cherish her friendship and love and will miss her always. RIP Fran?"
