I don't think I will ever get use to the fact you are no longer here. You were such a force and a voice to be reckoned with. I remember all those times you would laugh at Trish and I for our antics and crazy attitudes. I am truly at a loss for words but know this, 'You were one heck of a "Hellraiser," back in the day.

Always with love and great respect, Molly Kangeter-Malinowsky...

To Moma Fran, you will always hold a special place in my heart...you were my momma away from my own mother.I ALWAYS could trust that you would be there to fix any and everything. You were like glue, your what held this family together. Without you here on this earth is gonna give each of us alot of heartache, but we will remember you went to be free of pain. Jimmy loves you and is gonna MISS you dearly. Jimmy James & Emily loves you so much, too. So this is not goodbye, but just i will see you later, moma. I love you, and will miss you everyday until i see you again.
