Trey, I was so sorry to hear about your Mama. I remember the trip to Washington D. C. that you went on in 1996, how you spent time looking for something to take home for her and especially for Katie! Y’all will be forever in my prayers. With love, Debbie Bates
I feel so blessed that I got to make some great memories traveling & vintage shopping with Fran the past 6 years. I will miss her kindness, her sense of humor & her big heart. She has truly left a legacy for her two amazing children, Katie & Trey. You will be missed by many & will always be remember for the impact you had on the lives of your students, friends & family. Our loss is heavens gain. Rest in Love, sweet friend.
Sweet, sweet Fran was one of the few friends I made who was my age when I moved to El Dorado in the 70’s to work for Murphy Oil. She and I both had journalism backgrounds and we just hit it off. Loved her parents Bill and Dorothy who were such great supporters of UCAPS ( humane society). She was one of my daughter Alex’s favorite teachers at El Dorado High School and just don’t have enough adjectives to explain what a great person Fran was-beautiful, funny, so warm. I pray for her precious family and that they will know she is safe and wonderfully happy in Our Lord’s Heavenly paradise forever.
