To The Long Family,
Fran was one of the first people I met when I became employed at the State of Delaware. What a Beautiful person inside and out. She always spoke lovingly of her family and her trips to the beach. Fran had a special way of making you feel welcomed. She made it her point to say ” Good Morning” to everyone she came in contact with. Fran was such a sweet, sweet person with a sweet, sweet spirit. We always talked about how much she and I enjoyed the Community Dinners with Senator McBride at Minquadale Fire Hall every year. She will be missed. May GOD”S love and kindness enfold you and bring you comfort and peace.
With Sincere Condolences,
RuthAnne Surratte
