Lisa Francks

To the Francks Family, We are both so sorry for your loss. I met Lisa,when her son Chris married Lindsay daughter of my Best Friend. Right off the bat,I liked Lisa, she had such a warm personality and was so young at heart! She was a wonderful Mother and Grandmother, there wasnt anything she would'nt do for her family. I have alot of wonderful memories of Lisa at her home,for Lindsay's Bridal shower, CJ's Christening party and many more happy events! She will be missed by many including myself. God Bless your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

To Lisa's Family, I lived in Hackettstown during our 8th, 9th and 10th grades. I still keep in touch with many of the friends I made during that time. Lisa was in our class. I remember her bright smile and positive spirit. And her laugh. She was a wonderful person. You were all blessed to have her in your life. How sad that she has passed so young. Keep your memories close to your heart and she will always be with you. And all of us. In Christ's Love, Lucy Martin Heller

I grew up in Hackettstown and knew Lisa when she transferred from parochial school to our class in the 8th grade. I remember her as an energetic person, full of life. We had some great times in high school and I can still hear Lisa's distinctive laugh! I was hoping to see her at our next class reunion but that was not to be. My deepest sympathy to Bert and family on your loss.

Lisa will live on in the many students whose lives she touched. Rod and I send our condolences to Tabitha and Christopher on the loss of a wonderful mother

Lisa was one of the most sweetest and caring people I have ever known. I became friends with Lisa as I am a very close friend of Tabitha's. I have very fond memories of Lisa and always enjoyed her company. I will miss her greatly.

Dear Family of Lisa, My earliest memories of life practically begin with Lisa Albanito. We were in school together from K thru 12. I have so many memories of Lisa. I remember walking to her house after school to play - it was like a little dollhouse. I recall when she came back from her first trip to Italy. She was suddenly worldly and so grown up, and she had so many stories - she was a talker, Lisa. She was the first of us to have a mini skirt, and wear make up and high heels. I remember pajama parties, First Communion, graduations, boyfriends - fighting over boyfriends. We cheered together forever from peewees thru high school. She was smart, talented, athletic, spunky, stylish and she had a great laugh. I remember her sweet little mom loved to take the bus to NYC to shop and her strong silent dad. I shared tears and laughter with her. We exchanged Christmas cards for many years - I don't know why we stopped. I hope my memories of Lisa comfort you. I enjoyed recalling them. Love and prayers.

I did not go to elementary school with Lisa but did remember her in our accordion classes and at our performances. She was brave along with Luann Fiedler and me taking accordion lessions. In high school she was a very happy and energetic person. I was truly saddened to hear of her passing. I am sure she is in heaven and will be waiting for all of us to join her. Rest in peace Lisa.

To Lisa's family, I send my heartfelt sympanthy at this time of loss. I graduated with Lisa, and spent a good deal of time working with her as a member of the cheerleading squad. I remember her strong leadership, determination, dedication, intelligence, and that lovely smile. May your memories bring you comfort. Sincerely, Ruth

To Lisa's Family I knew Lisa and her family MOM and Dad from Hackettstown. When we were young we would play at her home as we all lived in the area of Park Ave. and Layafette St. We attended St. MAry's and sinces the community of Italian familys was small back then familys got together and on special occasions. I was sad to hear of her passing. She used to love to talk an have great conversations. Since years have passed on I still recall family gathering and the youth we shared. My sincere condolence to Filovia her mom and her children. Frances Tomeo Hakettstown NJ

For 25 years, Lisa and I worked together at WHS. I'll miss her kindness and the many talks that we shared.

words can never express my thankfulness for having you in my life. you were one of my first friends in the world of "molding america's youth." you guided me, taught me perspective....walked me down the aisle of "the working mother." thank you.

Lisa was a wonderful woman and she will be missed by all at Williamstown High school. She was a friend, mentor, and colleague to many of the staff and an overall great instructor to the students here. We share in your grief and wish to extend our condolences.

Lisa always had a smile on her face and willing to help with whatever was asked of her. She was a wonderful person and devoted professional. Lisa will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

To me, Mrs. Franks was such a kindhearted and genuine person. I had the pleasure of having her as a teacher when I was in high school and absolutely loved her class. When I was in high school she was one of my favorite teachers. She often referenced her own personal experiences during lessons and always talked about her family and to the other students and I in the class, it just made her more caring and personable. She always took the time to listen if I had a problem or just her smile brightened my day. Now that I'm an adult and a fellow teacher in the district it was always a pleasure to see her during inservices or to chat and say hey, remember when..... or hear her say remember when you were my student:- Lisa and it still feels funny saying her first name:- you will be very missed not only by me but by everyone. Your kind soul has touched many lives...mine included! My condolences to her family and friends!! Farewell.

Extending my deepest condolences - I had the opportunity to learn from Lisa Francks in her AP English and Journalism classrooms at WHS - I also had the fortunate opportunity to know her as a friend. I will remember her as an engaged, passionate, and witty educator - and, moreover, as a warm-hearted and soulful friend.

I had the great pleasure to get to know and work with Lisa during our time at Monroe. Not only was she a wonderful woman, but she was kind and thoughtful with the teachers she worked with at both the high school and middle school. It was obvious in our conversations that she adored her family and that they meant the world to her. She made many true friends throughout her life and she will be sadly missed. My condolences to Lisa's family.

I am truly sorry to hear of Lisa's passing. I taught with her at Williamstown in the 90's. I enjoyed her company, her insight and her humor. She will be greatly missed.

Words cannot express the sadness I feel. Lisa was one of the first teachers that showed me the ropes at WHS. She was kind, caring, and a great colleague! You will be missed, Lisa.

I attended St.Marys of the Assumption school in Hackettstown, NJ with Lisa from Kindergarten through Oct of our 8th grade year. I changed schools at that time. I have not seen her in many years but I wanted to express my deepest condolences to her children and her family. I am sorry to hear she was battling cancer. Such a horrid disease. I have lost loved ones to cancer too. God bless you all and my your grief be lessened by the memories and love that Lisa gave to all. She is at peace now with our Lord and awaits reunion with you all someday.

Lisa was not only my teacher, friend,and employer, but also a woman who opened my eyes to the realities and humor of the real world. Whether we were discussing the roulette table or she was yelling at me for being illiterate....she was a great lady, period. Lisa will be greatly missed.

I have fond memories of both English and Journalism with Mrs. Francks. She was a wonderful teacher....my prayers are with her family!

To Lisa's family. Ruthie and I had planned to visit with Lisa on Wed. morning. I regret that I did not get that chance to see her one more time. She helped my daughter with her practicum teaching at WHS. She would have liked to hear that Julie has been an educator for 5 years now. Lisa was also my colleague for many years. She'll be missed.

I will have fond memories of lisa we shared a lot of laughs at the old puffer bellies. will miss you lisa.Tab & Family im sorry for your loss god bless. Eddie.T

Although I did not personally know your mom, I wanted to extend my sincere sympathies to you and your family. I worked at Gibbsboro School for many years.You are in my prayers.

My thoughts and my prayers are with Lisa's family & friends.

To Lisa's Family, I just saw the news on Lisas passing. My mother and her mother were best friends. They would go into NY to go dancing. My mother stayed in contact with Lisa the last couple years on Fulvia's health. They would share gambling stories. I am so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful person and so proud of her family.

My condolences to her family.

My sincerest condolences to the Francks family on their loss. Lisa and I have not crossed paths in nearly forty years, but I can still remember the warmth and light when she entered the room , the heartinees of her laugh and humor, and her dedication to do the best, be it academics, sports, or friendships. Through other condolences, Lisa, I see you have taken your wisdom, strengh, and humor and touched many lives, we will miss you! Godspeed

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
