Deepest sympathy. Prayers for family

I am sorry that I can’t be there. My condolences to the Family, Francis was my favorite. When Pat told me of her death I tried to make arrangements for me to come to Nip in tuck but I just couldn’t get everything arranged. I will keep everyone in My prayers. Even though I know she was ready my hart felt broken.

Dearest Connie, Debbie, Robin, Stacey, and Casey, please know that Noreen's heart and my heart go out to you all as we celebrate the life of one of the family's true heroines, our "Aunt Franny". I do not have to tell you that your mother, our Aunt Franny, was "one in a million". Aunt Franny loved her family and was one of the hardest working people I know. NO ONE had a cleaner home or cleaner, shinier floors than our Aunt Franny. As I young boy going to your house and being invited for many a fish fries or homemade ice cream events (with a real crank handle machine) I always wondered how did Aunt Fran get those floors so shiny....one could almost see your reflection (simply amazing to a young boy)! I remember both Aunt Fran and Uncle Euell taking all of us down to "the D'arbonne" to catch fish and then going to the State Park to have a fish fry when I was 12 years old and Gary was 9 years old. We still talk about those times and Noreen's feels like she was there after hearing the stories over and over. Uncle Euell putting a saddle on "old Sparky" for a horseback ride at age 8 (after coming home from a few years in Okinawa, Japan) is a memory Gary and I talk about today...all those special memories that Aunt Fran and Uncle Euell demonstrated what Aunts and Uncles and cousins and family really meant. We treasure those special moments as family. In my travels and talking with other people from other regions and places on Planet Earth, I know and understand how fortunate we were and are growing up with these special people around us. Were any of us perfect? Absolutely not! But we did all grow up in a special place and a special time. Thank you, Aunt Franny, for your guiding wisdom and your humor. To quote our Aunt Franny...."I can not help but getting tickled when I think back...!" Our love and thanks goes out to a special aunt. Love you and the memories you were there to help create! Love, Mike and Noreen Kennedy

Rest in well deserved Peace, dear Francis. I have so many wonderful memories of you taking the time to entertain Joey and me. We loved visiting your house in Farmerville, eating lots of fried chicken, and enjoying the family. You have been a true servant of the Lord. + Cousin June Kay Aulds Spellman. X
