I was fortunate to be the flower girl for Frances and Gil's wedding so cousin Frances has always held a special place in my heart. There are many fond memories of the times the family came to the lake cabin during the summer--swimming, boating, picnics, feeding the sunfish. I rejoice that Frances and her sister, Lorraine, are reunited and that they are celebrating with all their heavenly family. - Posted by: Anita Fraundorf (Cousin) on: Dec 11, 2014

I so enjoy being with my cousins and my time with Francis will always remain as sweet memories. Sonja enjoyed Francis as well and we both appreciated her preparation of the "Broker girls chicken with rice", something my mother had prepared so many times as I grew up and in adulthood. And I recall my mother taking me to visit Francis and Lorraine when they were teens. Heaven is closer to completeness today. - Posted by: Lowell L. Thill (Cousin) on: Dec 10, 2014
