Not sure what to say?

Francke family - I've been out of town for the last two weeks, so couldn't make visitation but want to extend my sympathy on Mr. Francke's passing. Although I knew all of you as a child, the only time I recall speaking to your father was when he called me in I think it was 2005 to praise some work I was doing on political reform in local politics. Coming from him I considered it a great great honor. I'm sure you're very proud of him as you should be. My condolences and best wishes to all...

John and Family,
I wanted to express my condolances for your loss. John, the example that individuals like Mr.Francke set is what helps keep myself (and others)wanting to continue to move Saginaw in positive ways. Thank you Mr. Francke -- Rest in Peace.

stew was simply a good, bright, innovative,
superb man who made his corner of the world

Dear Martha,Kit and Stew,
Wish we could have gotten to the service, but health problems wouldn't allow. Your father was a delight to know. Our family sends heartfelt sympathy to you all.

My deepest sympathy to the Francke family.I have many memories of you all when you were a neighbor on Washburn W. Somethime ago I was visiting at Mcbrite and had a very nice visit with your father. I will remember you in my prayers.

Dear Martha,
Just found out about the passing of your father. So sorry to hear about your loss.

Dear Stu, Martha and Kit. There are few times in our lives when reflections upon the love and guidance parents provided, becomes more apparent to us, than on their passing. You can all take pride in the fact that not only do family and friends share your love and loss of Stu, but the whole City of Saginaw must take pause and pay tribute to one of the finest sons she ever produced. Let Mayor G. Stewart Francke Sr. be remembered for the love and service he so graciously gave to his family,...

I will truly miss you Stu and you will always be in my heart and prayers. It was a pleasure knowing you. So glad to have been able to serve you those apple fritters. Barb (H&H)

Thoughts and prayers are with all the Francke family.
