Sandra, I am so sorry to hear this sad news..I remember the good times we all had when we were in our teens. You, Diane, Franny, Tom, Tom Minton, Larry Garden, and myself. Frannie was a great person who I will never forget. Looking at his picture I see that he never lost his impish grin. So Sweet. May God Bless you and your dear family, and I will keep you all in my Thoughts and Prayers. May Frannie R.I.P. Hugs. Sue (Edmonds) Garden

Sandra, I have a wonderful picture of Franny and the rest of the family at my house in Rehoboth, that I will cherish always. Even though we didn't get to see each other as often as we would have liked, I will miss him and the times we spent together as a family. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal;
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Sandy you had a great husband. Jeff and Jennifer you had the best dad and I was lucky enough to call him my friend.
