I heard the news on social media today, and honestly, it hit pretty hard.

The world lost one hell of a creative person—an amazing artist, musician, and friend.

Maxine and I got to know Fran because our booths happened to be next to each other at a couple of Maker Markets. I’ll always be glad they were. I loved those random encounters, the conversations, the laughs, and just catching up whenever our paths crossed. Those are the kinds of little moments you don’t realize how much you’ll miss until they’re gone.

Fran, you’ll truly be missed. And I’m pretty sure I’ll never see a corndog again without thinking of you and smiling. ❤️
