Fran Holden waxay ahayd qofkii ugu horreeyay ee qirtay inaysan jeclayn fiiro gaar ah, gaar ahaan marka ay timaaddo sama falka iyo sida deeqsinimada leh iyada iyo ninkeeda, Clarence, ay ahaayeen sannadihii la soo dhaafay. Haddana indhaheedu way iftiimeen markii ay ka hadlaysay ururada iyo barnaamijyada ay doorteen inay taageeraan. The Boy Scouts' Camp Cuyuna, dhismaha isbitaal ku yaal Haiti oo ay hormuud ka ahayd Brainerd Rotary, the Brainerd YMCA, Central Lakes College, the Paul Bunyan trail, the Shriner's Hospital, carruurta yaryar ee u baahan qalabka gargaarka maqalka iyo muraayadaha indhaha. Liisku wuxuu ahaa mid aan dhammaad lahayn.
Fran waxay geeriyootay Sebtembar 13, 2014, laakiin markii ay la wadaagtay fikradeeda ku saabsan samafalka, waxay jeceshay inay tixraacdo weedha Baybalka ah, “Laakiin markaad sadaqad bixinayso, gacantaada bidix ha ogaan waxay midigtaadu samaynayso, si aad sadaqadaada u bixiso. waxaa laga yaabaa inay sir tahay; Aabbahaaga waxa qarsoon arka ayaa kuu abaalgudi doona. ( Matayos 6:3 )
Waxay si fudud u rajaynaysay in ficilka iyada iyo Clarence ay ku dhiiri galiyeen dadka kale inay sidoo kale deeqsiiyaan.
Clarence iyo Fran waxay is guursadeen ku dhawaad 50 sano markii Clarence uu geeriyooday dayrtii 2005. Waxaa lagu sharfay 2006dii Abaalmarinta Philanthropy ee Mu'asasada Bulshada Harooyinka Brainerd.
Waxay kulmeen markii ay labadooduba ka wada shaqaynayeen Mill's Motor ee Brainerd halkaas oo Fran uu u adeegay xoghaye Henry Mill. Waxay ku raaxaysanayeen sannado socdaal ah, kubbadda koleyga mataanaha ah, safarrada baaskiilka iyo la wadaaga bulshadooda. Fran, oo jeclaa in uu haysto jadwal dhammaystiran oo waxqabadyo bulsheed ah, ayaa Clarence ku tilmaamay "nin aamusan oo aad u hooseeya oo furaha u ah."
Fran waxa uu rumaysnaa, "Aad ayaan u nasiib badannahay in aan lacagtan haysano, waana in aan si wanaagsan uga faa'iidaysano."
