You passed away way too young. I can´t believe you have been gone for 11 years. You should be here to spoil your grandsons. I know you are their guardian angel and are keeping them safe. I also know how proud you are of Chris and Heather. I miss you all the time and wish you were here. You will always be in my heart.

We offer our condolences and prayers as the Grondalski and Staats families go through these sorrowful times. We know Little John and Fran from a long time ago. Cathy went to grade school and high school with Fran. Mike knew Little John back in Lewisdale when we used to play basketball and talk on the CB radio.

Fran is Free now. So remember the happy times and all should lift up their hearts to Fran and the Family because God wanted her now and has Set Her Free.

God Bless Fran and the Families.
