Ann,
I cannot begin to express my sadness for you and your family for your loss. Fran will be missed by many people.
I would always enjoy meeting both of you for dinner with my mom and dad on Saturdays after church. He always mame me laugh. As a grown man, It feels odd call you Ann and Fran. You have always been known to me as Mr. Kraus and Mrs. Kraus.
We all loved him very much, and I know he is hanging out with my mom, laughing at each of us about something.
We love you, and our hearts are with you and your family.
Love,
Tommy Avino & Family
