In Loving Memory of Franzine,
A warm, welcoming ray of light who shone brightly in any crowded room she entered and had a way of making you feel that you were the only one there when she spoke to you.
May her light continue to shine in the hearts of those she loved and may they be comforted knowing that her soul rests in peace.
