We lost a very special member yesterday, 12/29/19

God Bless Phrannie, I became familiar with her while on this forum and what a kind and giving lady she was and will always be in eternity.  Rest in Peace and know that we all love you. 

We all need a Phrannie in our lives.  God bless Jackie's family.

P-51 was a WW II fighter plane. Phrannie51 reminded me of a true Fighter and was also nicknamed P-51 by others.

She will forever be in our Pockets. 

I will miss her, always tried to offer good direction with her expereiences and you knew she really meant every word she typed here! A real caring soul and a really good person at heart!

So saddened to hear that. I had the same type of cancer (NPC), treated the same year (2012), but she was a few months “ahead” so she helped me a lot with some very good advices and encouragements. I was under the impression that the latest treatment was working, so this came as a shock for me. She was my inspiration and she is greatly missed!

Thank you for letting us know, DJ. I had been hoping that her not posting much was a sign that she was doing well. I was honored to have lunch with her and her husband on one of their Az visits. Such a fun and sweet lady. She will surely be missed.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Although I've not had cancer I did have a pre-cancerous lesion on my tongue which was treated in 2013. When I found out I was going to need a biopsy because I may have tongue cancer I worked myself up into such a state of extreme anxiety that I thought I was going crazy. I resorted to Dr Google and found myself posting here.

In my darkest hours several people here helped to calm me down and got me to pull myself together. Phrannie was one of those people and I distinctly remember her telling me to calm myself and "it's not cancer unless a doctor tells you it is" - a CSN moto that I have taken into real life situations over the years.

The kindness and warmth Phrannie (and everyone else) showed me made such a difference on that long, dark winter night. I have always rememberd it and over the years I have continued to check back quietly to see how you are all doing. 

The loss of Phrannie is such a huge blow and I'm so sorry to hear it.

RIP to Phrannie and I'll be keeping her and her family and friends in my thoughts.

So sorry to hear, i haven't checked in in a long time and i am just seeing this. Phrannie was so supportive of all who came here and certainly was of me when i rode the bus 4 yrs ago. I'm going to try to check in more and lend a supportive word now and again. If we were all just a little more like Phrannie, , this site would be the most supportive on the web. Thoughts of comfort to her family and friends.

I haven't checked in for some time, but I was also one of the 'class of 2012' and like Tommyodavey (hey Tommy - not sure if you remember but I was a fellow MEC gang member) came on here at a fairly similar time to Phrannie. She was a feisty, upbeat, brave and interesting lady and I am incredibly sad to hear she has passed.

My impression of Phrannie was she had lived the equivalent of several lives, and that she got the most out of single every day she had on this earth, even when things were tough. 

RIP Phrannie, the world is a little less bright for losing you.

I havent checked in for a while. I am saddened to see her go. She was a great source of encouragement, hope, and helped me tremendously during my battle against this in late 2015.
