This lovely picture captures the essence of this wonderful now gone person. Fran was vivacious, full of life and a wonderful human being. I saw her before and after when she was stricken with a horrific disorder that plagued her last years and stole her ability to function, including communication with other people.... which she loved to do.....especially over the dinner table with her wonderful, delicious Italian food. Both her and her equally wonderful husband, Val, were a model of a loving family and stable, loving home life. They cherished and took care of their own mother, "Gramps", who I became so fond of when I first met her....as Joe and I were playing electric guitar.. on Marshall amps...when Gramps, came in, and asked "are you boys going to rock and roll?". Her son Joe, one of my dearest friends, gave me the privilege and honor of being a part of their wonderful family. I am truly blessed to have been so. Val....Joe....and, even though haven't seen/talked to you in a few years....Chuck....I will miss her as well and share in your loss.
