I'll always remember the many kindnesses Francine bestowed on those who passed her way in life. Through my years as a teacher at Disney, I'm so grateful to have known her. She was a beautiful person who brought joy to the world. My deepest sympathy to her family. May her memory be eternal.

My heart is broken knowing that this beautiful woman has transitioned to eternity. I came to know her through the Disney Magnet School Family many years ago as a substitute teacher. She always looked out for me while I was there and I was forever grateful for her love, care, and compassion. I am praying for her loved ones who are left here on earth to carry on her legacy of love, compassion, kindness. God bless you all in her passing. She is truly going to be missed.

Please accept my deepest sympathy at this sad time. Francine always put her spirit, her heart, best efforts and best self into everything she worked so hard to accomplish, over her memorable career.
Her passing will be a great loss to all who knew her.

Francine will be remembered by many. She was, and continues to be, loved by all who were blessed to have come into contact with her. Speaking for myself, I am honored to have called her friend, colleague and confident. She and I shared tears, as well as laughter. No...you are NOT gone, my friend..not as long as your beauitiful spirit lives on in the memories of those who knew you. God is with you. May you rest in HIs love.
Thank you for being you!

My deepest condolences to the Gross Family! Francine was such an extraordinary woman! I'll never forget her teaching our Kdg class the hula for our CAC show. She was love and class personified!

I loved Frannie.
She had a terrific sense of humor and was very easy to be around. Surely she was one of the most genuinely caring souls I've ever had the good fortune to know.
I'll especially remember how kind she was to my daughter during a very difficult time while she was a student at WDMS.
Sending prayers to her family today and always.
