Dear Carol Ann, Paulette, Alicia and family-members, Pat, John jr. with their families and especially Elisabeth, Frans sister.
We are all so sad here in Germany that we could not be with you in this time. We will miss Fran, her wonderful husband Al and of course also John very much. Everybody who met these special persons has only good memories about them and the times they spend together.
Some words only for and from me:
I am so happy that i could meet Fran and Al in October 2007. I will have them always in good memorance. I loved them so much and had always the feeling that they are very special friends.
Love Peter Borggreve with family

Al and Fran will be missed as one of the "first couples" of Sacred Heart Parish. May they both receive the reward of their labors and rest in the peace of Christ.
