Rich, We couldn't have asked for more when it came to moms strength,character,sense of humor and the sacrifices she made for you and I. She lived life to the full capacity with so little to work with. A truly awesome mom that gave me a great brother! Love, Tom

For all the times you stood by me, for all the truth you made me see, for all the joy you brought to my life, for all the wrong that you made right, for every dream you helped come true, for all the love we had for you, were forever thankful to have had a beautiful Mother like you. See ya at the East gate when it's my turn to go! From Tommy and Juanita With Very Much Love Always!

Tommy and Rich
Your mother was one of the kindest, sweetest, unpretentious, modest persons I have ever met in my life. Always had a uplifting word, or would pray for another to do better in their life and wasn't afraid to get on your case if you were doing what you shouldn't be. She will be missed, and remembered fondly by anyone who was lucky enough to have met her or had an opportunity to spend time talking with her. Truly a treasure and a blessing. Thanks Frannie, for being there for me when i was at my lowest, without you I would have stayed there. I will love and miss you , my memories of you will last me a lifetime.

Jayne, Rich, Bret and Erin,
We grieve for your loss of Fran, and we'll miss seeing her when we're up there this summer. Nobody gave great hugs like she did. We shared with her the joy of our grandchildren's birth, and will keep her in our thoughts as they reach each milestone of their lives, because she loved them so much.
Love and sympathy to you all.

Hi grandma, it's Bret. I just wanted to stop by and sign your guest book. I went to your wake today. There were a lottttt of people there. Aunt Ada reminds me so much of you. It's been really nice having her and sissy around. We went to your house the other day to clean up a little bit and I found a lot of cool stuff. It was really hard not to cry looking at a lot of it but I've been trying to hold up. Mickey misses you, and I think we're gonna adopt him pretty soon. I'll make sure nothing bad happens to him. Well I'm gonna go maybe try to get some sleep before the funeral. I loveeee you and i miss you sooooo much. Love Bret

Hi Rich, I will remember your Mom walking around the Babe Ruth field everytime the Red team was playing. My Mom died one year ago today. Hope to see you guys at Tony's Golf event in July, your friend, Terry
