Dear John and Family
I was so saddened to hear of Fran’s passing. She was so kind and considerate and a wonderful supporter of the multi-agency exercise groups that ran weekly in DCC’s Poppintree Community Centre for adults at risk of falls. I speak on behalf of all the Older People who appreciated the warm welcome Fran and her colleagues gave them in the Poppintree Youth Centre for a cuppa and a chat after their class. RIP

I am so sorry for the pain you must be feeling right now, Fran was such an amazing, enigmatic, kind-hearted person. But her kind soul will live on through her actions and the influence she had over everyone lucky enough to be acquainted with her.

Brave, strong, and passionate about calling out injustices in the world, her impact will last forever, and may she rest in peace. My heart goes out to you all at this time.

So sorry to learn of Fran's death. Fran was a force of nature whose energy will continue to be felt by all who knew her and especially the young people who were so close to her heart.
