I have known Francis all my life. All of us at church grew up together and were like family. He was a member of our wedding party. Francis always had a wonderful smile and a great laugh. And I never recall him having anything bad to say about anyone. Even though we had not spoken in a long time we would remember old times and think of him. I know that God has a plan for all of us, but losing him just doesn't seem right to me. Francis will be greatly missed by all of us.

They don't come any better than Francis, always friendly when you saw him, always thinking of others instead of himself- we have lost a GREAT person.

NO WORDS COULD EVER EXPRESS OUR LOSS.I KNOW THAT NONE OF US ARE PERFECT, BUT FRANCIS YOU WERE AS CLOSE AS ANYONE COULD GET.WE ALL COULD LEARN FROM YOU. DEAN AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE GREAT TIMES WE HAD WITH YOU,RANAE, SHERI AND JEFF. ALSO THOSE GREAT CHILDHOOD MEMORIES WE SHARED.WE KNOW YOU HAD A BIG REUNION IN HEAVEN...AND SOMEDAY WE WILL ALL BE TOGETHER AGAIN. ENJOY YOUR REWARDS....WE KNOW YOU HAVE MANY...LOVE DEAN AND TAMMY
