I am so very sorry to hear about Frannie. My Family have so many great memories of both your Parents. Your parents were like our second parents. O all the years of Bowling our parents had together and us all growing up in St Annes Parrish. IOur Parents are all together again. Love you all
Francis was a very special relative and friend to me when my mom passed away. He looked after her home and helped organize all the tooks my dad never did get around organizing when he was alive. He took one of the old farm shovels and refurbished it with new wood and paint for my two boys to have. I will treasure it always. He would stop by every so often and call when he was visiting in KC. I know he and my dad, Jake, are discussing wheat prices, and my mom. Alyce, wants him to play pitch. On behalf of Tim, TJ, and Tyler, God Bless you and your family. Our prayers are with you all, and Francis will always be fondly remembered by us all!! He was so tickled that the Pope was named Francis! Love you, Francis! Dee Dee, Tim, TJ, and Tyler Eccles
I have so many fond memories of my cousin Frannie over the years. We shared the same birthdate and he would call me each year to wish me Happy Birthday. We had many conversations reminiscing about family and his Colorado visits. He loved my parents Connie and Josephine Sigg and they loved him. I will miss his strong faith and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
