Dear Jerry Franzoy, Geneve Adams, & all the Family of Fred Franzoy:

Words alone cannot express our sympathy on the untimely death of your father, brother, grandfather and friend. To say that his time was far too short is an understatement. The reality is that he will be sorely missed by all who loved and knew him.

No doubt the outpouring of sympathy eho havereceived since his parting has been of some consolation. Hopefully it will serve as a reminder to you of how well-loved and liked he was.

I hope that you and your family will find peace and comfort in knowing that his suffering is over and that his just rewards await him.

May God bless you and your wonderful family.

Yours in Faith,
Christine Michelle Gallegos
