Our hearts are broken with the loss of Dear sweet Franny. Franny spent her winters with her sons Philip and Hank every year In Florida.
It was the highlight of her year.Until she couldn’t travel any longer. We were blessd with so many wonderful holidays and fun times that will never forget. She leaves a large group of friends and family here in Florida and we’re so sorry we couldn’t attend her funeral today.
Unfortunately, we were only given a very short notice.
A Funeral Mass and burial will take place here in Florida for her family and many friends who were not able to attend. She will forever be in our hearts.
It’s been a long time, but we have good memories of visiting Aunt Francis (and Uncle Larry too). So sorry to hear of her passing, but she lived a long life with her family close by. Our deepest condolences.
Jerome Zito and family
