Dear friends my deepest condolences to the whole family from me and my entire family. Your mother will always be remembered for her smile and kind heart. As a kid coming to this country without knowing the language she and all your family took care of us and were great neighbors. I'll always remember my childhood as a happy one because of the great neighbors we got. May your mother as we called her growing up Mrs. Francisca rest in peace and be in God's glory.
Love,
Lalo

Dear Cousins,
Will miss Auntie Francie more than I can say. She played a large role in my life. My sadness at her loss is eased by the knowledge that she is reunited in heaven with so many who also loved her dearly. God bless you all.
