Saddened to learn of the passing of my cousin, Fran. I was lucky to have been able to spend my younger life with her and Bobby. We had many good times that I think of often and talk about with my kids and grandchildren. The stories always bring smiles and laugher. Rest in heaven with your parents and brothers.
