Dale, Scott and Sheryl, Please accept my deepest sympathy on the death of Aunt Fran. Fran was always very special to me, especially when my family still lived up in Cloverland. I remember many times staying with Al and Fran when my parents went on vacation, and coming to the farmhouse for visits and holidays. It was Aunt Fran who brought the birthday cake to my 1st birthday (no, I didn't remember that--Mom told me later), when my Mom was taken to the hospital. Fran put the cake on a "1954" plate, which I have to this day. I have used it for birthdays ever since, and think of Aunt Fran every time. Everytime I came back to Poplar I stayed with Fran, even when I had kids of my own. She was a very special lady. I will always love her and remember her. Candice HojanLakeville, MN 10/12/2012 9:16 PM
