Dear Franco Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the death of Felix. He will be missed by you with his smile and spirit. My mother, Alfreda Olsen, truly enjoyed having Felix live down the street from her. He would check on mom when there were storms or deep snows and just stop by to say hello. The Franco family is very special to all of us. Connie Geissel, Debbie Franco's sister.
