Fran-Ram. I love you. I will miss your funny, sincere, and sensical humor. You made me laugh when I wanted to cry. You were always a sounding board for me. You enriched my life immeasurably.
I want your family to know what a playful woman you were.
I used to read the announcements at Cleburne High School. After many years of radio, it was an easy thing for me to do. Speak with other people looking at you, come you could see and others you knew were listening or looking.
Fran had tried for weeks to make me laugh during the announcements. It never worked. She tried everything.
The one thing she did that made me lose my mind was this:
I had JUST started the announcements, and Fran walked up opposite of me and started to dance, that wasn't very funny, but THEN, she started to grab the bottom of her shirt and began to lift up, like she was doing a burlesque act.
I FREAKING LOST IT. I LAUGHED SO HARD, I HAD TO STOP THE ANNOUNCEMENTS AND TURN OFF THE PA.
The principal came out and asked, WHAT WAS THAT?
I was red faced and still laughing, and Fran-Ram was standing there looking all innocent.
My gosh, that woman. I will forever remember her.
I love you, Franny. I'll miss you, but i guarantee we'll see each other again.
