Dear Coleman, Nettnin, Cevicelov, Gerega, Paprocki, and Rossner Families,
Please accept our condolences on the passing of your dear Mom, Sister, Aunt, Grandmother, and friend, Fran. She was someone who lived life as it came to her and knew how to make sure that she passed along her joy of life to others around her. I can still remember playing with my friends on Borchard Street and seeing her sitting outside watching all the kids. It was great to know that someone was watching out for us. And the entire Meola Family remembers Fran's hospitality as she welcomed us to her home at The Landing for Thanksgiving.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. May God grant you comfort during these days and hope in tomoroow and the day we will all greet each other around His throne.
Love, Ann, James, Katie and Michael Meola
