Your mother was a very dear friend to my mother. She would come to pick her up to go to the senior center to eat and play cards. When our fathers were alive they got together all the time. I still can remember that laugh your dad had when they beat the women at cards. I'm sure they are probably playing now . God Bless your whole family. Eddie Myers Jr.

I want to pass along our warmest condolences to the Fleming family. We are deeply sorry for the loss of your mom. Aunt Fran was the sweetest person, I will always remember her laugh and constant smile. She always had a positive outlook on everything. I can Still remember the wonderful trips we made to Norwalk to visit the Fleming family. I bet I could still drive to your old home, the park, and to St Paul’s Church. I Remember the trips to the lake together, canoeing, picnics, and reunions. Your mom played a great part in all of the events. She will always be in our thoughts and prayers. Please find comfort In the fact that your mom is no longer suffering, peace in knowing she is with family and God and loving memories to forever hold in your heart. Rest In Peace Aunt Fran.
