I am so sorry to hear about Francis. I met him when my mom was staying in the same rehab facility. What a sweet soul. I snuck him in some cookies and cupcakes when I would go visit my mom. I told my sisters I wanted to adopt him to be my grandpa.Rest in peace Francis I'm so glad I got to meet you ❤
