I want to say I am sorry about your loss and what a wonderful person she was. Growing up just behind you(behind McDonalds)we could always count on her to buy lots of candy and any other fundraiser we were selling for Holy Trinity. She always spoke well of mom and dad(Doney and Betty King) and was just pleasant. Don King and family

Fran was a lifelong friend of my mother, Frances Perko Lambert and that's how I knew her. She was a wonderful, kind lady with a beautiful smile. I'll always remember her.
