Thank you aunt Fran for keeping Diane and Anita in contact with their Piskula roots. Our connection remained strong even after your remarriage to Ronnie. He raised my cousins as if they were his own... And for that special gift of uniting two households as one, United under God, I can't thank you enough. Earth bound smiles of love to both of you!

Frances & I were both employees of Aetna Ins. in Allentown, PA, on the 1st floor for many years. She had seen my Army son, Master Sgt. Kevin J. Snyder, pictures on my desk & had left a Tribute to him on Kev's Legacy in '06. Now May She Rest in Peace & again will be reunited w/1st. husband Rich Piscula, USAF, & 2nd husband Ronald Lehr.

We had fun times working together at Aetna, I love you Frannie and miss you but heaven received a awesome Angel, say hi to my Mom for me. We will meet again. Loved when you called me a sucker ball.

Frances will be sorely missed. She was always close to her Aunt Janet, who was only 7 years older, so they were very close. Fran was a blessing to my mother especially in later years as she was always willing to call her on the phone and brighten her day. For that I am very thankful.
