Condolence: After my husband had a massive stroke, I began writing regional histories, meeting special people connected to the fiber and history of their communities. To keep his mind active and involved, John would join me on my research/interview trips. While I was exploring the history on Nantahala National Forest, we had the great pleasure of meeting the kind, gracious Frances Cargill at her loom in the Weaver Cabin---such a lovely lady with a warm personality and spirit. We wish to extend our condolences to the family of this special lady. May you find peace----John and Marci Spencer

Condolence: From all the board members of the Folk Heritage Association of Macon County/Franklin Folk Festival and my family, heartfelt condolences to Fran's family and friends. She was indeed a remarkable woman with a heart for helping others. Her legacy will continue in those she influenced by her shared gifts of music, weaving and love of nature. We will miss her...
