Fran was overflowing with unconditional love that she shared with everyone she met and was a friend to all who knew and loved her. The family would like to extend a very special thank you to Rev. Thomas Osenbach, Alissa Stump and the entire staff of the Dallastown Villa and Dallastown Nursing Center for all the care given to Fran and the compassion shown to them during this difficult time. www.BurgFuneralHome.com
