Fran, Mike, Bryan and Kevin, ...a lifetime seems to have passed. My your strength be in the memories of being together and sharing in the love of family. As little boys, your parents had their hands full:) However, the laughter and the smiles always affixed on your faces reflected the bond of love and family that never dies. I am sure Eli welcomed him with open arms and together they shared a toast, "to love and family for ever after." With all my love from the bottom of my heart. Helene
