Lori (and family),

I don't even know what to say - there are no words to describe how sorry I am for you and your family. Your Dad was an amazing person and always brought a smile to everyone who knew him. Whether he was driving the "Malden, get on the truck" Truck from Mike's Donuts after the shows or whether he was helping with the equipment or just there to congratulate us on a job well done, his support of all the STLF girls never waivered. For those of us who grew up in St. Therese, the thought of him will always bring back fond memories. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Lori ... he is at peace now and no longer in pain. I know from experience that this is easier said than done, but try to take comfort in that knowledge during this difficult time. Your Mom is surely in Heaven with him now. He will live on forever in your heart and through your loving memories of him. I am only a phonecall away.

Love,
Carlene

Lori:

Words just cannot express the depth of the sadness that I feel today. "Franco" as he was lovingly remembered by your ST. Therese family was a good man who always made me smile. I find a little bit of comfort knowing that he is no longer in any pain and that he has been reunited with "Mrs. C".

I luv ya Lori and please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and that along with the rest of your STLF sisters, I am here if you need anything.

May "Franco" sleep in the arms of the angels.......Forever

With Deepest Sympathy
