Thank you to everyone at Elm Terrace that welcomed Franny and helped her to blossom in her newfound Independence.

Fran was a welcome addition to Elm Terrace Gardens. I recall the first time I met her standing alone in the dining area. Being new she was hesitant about what to do and just said I’m ok. Fran always had a beautiful smile and became a self appointed greeter of everyone she encountered. At our Sunday devotions she always was early and sat next to another Fran and since I am also a Francis, we always had some fun. She was loved by all and will be truly missed. May God receive her home.
