To Lupe, Punkin & Larry:
My aunt Francis was a very family oriented woman, who was always interested and excited in any family events. Most of my memories about aunt Francis are when she lived in Kansas for a while. I remember dad, and I would go over to mow her yard regularly and when we were done, she would cook us lunch and then we would just sit and talk. I also remember aunt Francis just simply wanting to be around any family. There were lots of times she would have us come get her to come visit and she would just end up staying the night because she was having such a good time.
I wish I could have been there to attend the services and pay my restpects in person as I heard the services were wonderful. My thoughts are with you all and I would like you all to know how important you are to me.

Maria, Pumpkin and Larry,
I am so sorry for your loss.
Your Mom is now at home with God and out of pain and suffering.
She will be with you forever, watching over you, and guiding you as she did when you were small.
You can talk to her whenever you want and she will answer, only now you must listen very hard and remember what she has taught you through the years and you will make the right choices.
May God keep you in the palm of his hand.
God Bless you and your Mom.

To my Auntie Fran. I will miss your smile & your laugh and the way you would tear up the dance floor at our parties. My heart goes out to Lupe, Punkin & Larry & all of her family. Auntie knew the true sense of "Family" and passed that on to her children and for that we are extremely fortunate. God Bless.

I would like to take this time to say that aunt Francisca will be very much missed. She always would ask me how I was doing and to make sure things were ok this was even when she was not feeling her best. She always made sure others were ok. She would call each of us by our name she always remembered each one of us. I would always talk with her, she would tell me stories about the family. Even though I have been sick I made sure I came to see her. Even though she is my aunt through marriage I loved her as my own aunt.
