Dear Peter and Frankie,
I am so sorry to hear your mom passed away. She was so funny yet 'stern' at the same time....always trying to make us eat. It's been so many years since we've gotten together but I will always remember the holidays at your home and Frances' Italian Christmas cookies. I loved playing in the basement while all the adults were upstairs talking about politics. Just some great memories with your entire family.
My sincere condolences.

To Peter and Frankie,

I just heard this morning about your moms passing and I want to say how sorry I am to hear that. She was quite a lady and raised two wonderful sons. I know how much she loved you and I am sure she is very proud of both of you and know she was loved and adored by everyone.

Warmest thoughts to the family, Robert

Losing Fran is akin to the loss of "a legend". She had a sense of humor comparable to no other. I loved her hearty laugh as well as her boisterous, outpouring of emotions when life was unjust and/or unfair. I reference this specifically to her love for the Red Sox! Baseball will NEVER be the same without Fran present. She made me (a sports anemic) actually LOVE watching baseball! Quite a feat! She was so full of life. Whatever she touched became exciting! Most of all, she loved her family. Family was foremost in her life.....she taught us all. I will cherish the Christmas Eve dinners with Fran and her remarkable family, as they were among the BEST I have known. Frances had it right. Family was foremost with humor being a close "second". Boy, I will miss her. I will NEVER watch the Red Sox in the same light as I did via her. Fran was unique.....one of a kind. I feel so privileged to have been a small part of her life. My love to her wonderful family. The BEST days of my married life were the years we rented the duplex adjacent to Pete and Sharon. I saw Fran often and she ALWAYS made me smile. God Bless her, for she was one of a kind. As I said earlier........we have lost a true "legend".......... Much love to Pete and Sharon, Frankie and Dustin and her beloved Amy, Nicole and Michael. I will miss this wonderful woman............ xoxoxo ~Sandie~

Frances was such a wonderful and generous person! The great memories are many from the time I was a little boy! Frances and her entire family welcomed me and my brother into her home and yard to play with Peter and Frank almost every day! I still remember the Ritz crackers with peanut butter she would make us along with those cans of potato chips! It was like a second home for me! It was the place where we played Strat-O-Matic baseball and argued about the Yankees and Red Sox! These are some of the best memories that will stay with me as long as God lets me remember! God Bless you in heaven Frances and my sincere condolences to Peter, Frank, and the entire family!
