Franny Franny Franny, what to say. Jay and I were blessed the day you came into our lives. There is a hole in our hearts that cannot be filled nor do I wish it to be.

We will always have fond memories of the parties, dinners and cruises that we all shared together. You are loved and missed Franny...Until we meet again...xoxoxoxo
