Ellen,
It was a shock to hear about Fran,I was just talking with Bill about you last week, and did not know that things were that bad with Fran. It seems it is the sad things more than the happy things that bring family back together. All our love to you and the girls.
Tom and Denise.

I'm sorry I was out of touch and didn't know how bad things were. I was shocked to get the call last Friday. I will always remember how it seemed we would be together every Saturday or Sunday for dinner, or just to visit. It was always a good time. I will always remember the time you and I went to a Planet of the Apes movie marathon, and we came out of the theater making monkey noises! Claire and I will never forget you. Look down every once in a while and make the sun come out on a cloudy day. Look over your family.

To My Sister Ellen and my four Neices Judy, Kathy,Anne and Sue. Your Husband and Dad was a Good Man. Whenever I saw Fran he always greeted me with a handshake and a smile. He never complained about anything and always asked me about my family and what I was up to. Thats how he was, very easy to talk too. He and my Sister were Soul Mates. When I was young I loved visiting them because they were so loving and fun. I will miss Fran and we have lost a big part of our Family.
With all my Love
Wally
