Aunt Fran was one of the most kind,loving, sweet woman that anyone could ever meet. She loved her husband, children, sisters. and every memeber in our big wonderful family and there was not one person in this whole big family that did not love her. I am pretty sure that there is no one that ever met Aunt Fran that did not love her. She lived a wonderful life and knew she was going to a better place. We will all remember her with nothing but good thoughts.

I will always remember the beautiful person I called Aunt Fran. Her love transcended generations, color, religion, gender, and personalities. Those who knew her well, those who only had a short encounter - (we) they all knew that she was an angel here on earth! Now she's with other angels, like her beloved husband, Michael, and their undoubtedly holding hands! Love always and forever.

Dear Family,
I am so saddened by the loss of Aunt Fran; she was so special to us all. Her warmth, generosity, and kind spirit were an inspiration and comfort to everyone she met. She had a way of putting smiles on our faces, even in her last days. Her dignity and strength of character were admirable and I wish there were more people like her. I will, as will you, miss her terribly. She was and always will be one of my favorites.
Love and support,

I have been a friend of Frances' niece, Regina Macolino, for 25 years. At every family occassion I was invited to, Regina's Aunt Fran was always there. She always had a kind word and an incredible smile for everyone. She was a beautiful lady and she will be missed. She is in my prayers along with her family and my sincere sympathy goes out to them.
