Hi Mr Bendixen, I tried to get to mass on Thurs, but by the time my lunch came around, everyone was already gone. Sorry I missed you. I extend to you my sympathy. May God bless you!

Franca has been a wonderful part of my family since I was a little boy. I shall really miss her wonderful sense of humor and outlook on life.
