They were such good people I use to babysit Shari kids when they were little. Will be missed dearly. Rest in peace.
Such a sweet couple. Prayers for your family.
You are already missed but the memories I have will always remain in my heart.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I worked with Fran at Kroger for 17 years. She was such a kind, special lady. I’ll be praying for peace for your family.
Condolences to you and your family. I work for HR Block and they were my clients and friends for many years. Prayers for your family. They were both so fun to be around.
Fran and Bob were two VERY special friends. There is never enough time for us to visit with loved ones. I always called Fran on her birthday as she did for me too.They are already missed.
If I had only known the last time would be the last time
I would’ve put off all the things I had to do
I would’ve stayed a little longer, held on a little tighter
Now what I’d give for one more day with you
‘Cause there’s a wound here in my heart where something’s missing
And they tell me that it’s gonna heal with time
But I know you’re in a place where all your wounds have been erased
And knowing yours are healed is healing mine
The only scars in Heaven, they won’t belong to me and you
There’ll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new
And the thought that makes me smile now, even as the tears fall down
Is that the only scars in Heaven are on the hands that hold you now
I miss you more than words can express
I never imagined my life without you here
Thank you for everything
You truly were the “salt of the earth”
Revelation 21:4
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
