To Jeff, Sue, Family, and to All Who Knew Fran Ader:



Fran Ader was much more than a beloved Aunt. She was the person in this World for whom we held the utmost respect. As such, our loss is immeasurable.



Among the many life-lessons and pearls of wisdom she imparted upon us, is the responsibility to always do one's best at whatever endeavor you may be engaged, and to never settle for mediocrity.



It was our blessing to have been a part of her life, and to have had her in our's.

Dear Jeff, Sue, and Family,



Even though my wife, Debbie, and I, didn't know your mom personally, Jeff mentioned her several times in conversations during the time we worked together. She sounds like she was a remarkable lady!

I'm sure you all miss her vitality, and her love for your family. I've watched how Jeff cared for the needs of others, particularly his students, who couldn't advocate for themselves, and have admired that quality. It sounds like Jeff probably learned that from the loving example of his mom!

We'll continue to keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Hope all is going well with your son and daughter in-law, as well as with your daughter (I believe she's at DU studying the viola)

Love,

Matt, Debbie, and the Kids

To Jeff, Sue and Children,

We are very sorry sorry to hear of the passing of our good friend and neighbor, we will miss her.

When we moved to Colorado springs over 20 years ago she welcomed us with a package of toffee. She treated us with her toffee many times.

When we went away for the summer Fran watered our climbing rose and fertilized it. The rose is now a beautiful tribute to her. I wish we could have taken it with us but we always clipped a blossum from it when we walked by.

May god bless you for the way that you took care of her.

Ed & Cleo
