I am sorry to hear about Francis. I went to Red Lobster with my family

in Waldorf, MD. We had a great time

thanks to him. He always had us laughing about something or the other. He had great advice on the

menu. He was special to me and treated me like a queen. He also,

fixed me virgin Pina Colada's, great

food, and the dessert was great. I always left happy with our waiter.

I will miss him dearly,when we go

back. I will pray for your family.
