Mama Fran, you were such a treasure. I loved every minute we spent together. Your willingness to take all of Gary’s friends in as your own is something I will hold dearly in my heart forever. Thank you for teaching us the many ways to play poker, by the way. It came in handy. I will never forget the wonderful and often-times hilarious stories of your past. And, it was even better if you threw Gary under the bus a few times; the way only a sweet, loving Mother can. In the greatest of sincerity, I will miss most your Mother love. Gary and family, you were so fortunate to have this wonderful woman loving and guiding you all of your life. I know you will miss her dearly. However, she will be represented in each of you for years to come. Thank you for sharing her with us. My love and sympathies to you all. Rod Faulkner
