Tho’ my uncle by marriage, you were always like my second father. You & Aunt Thelma have ALWAYS been there for ALL of us. You never talked bad of no one. If you did it was a simple baaaalogni. You will be irreplaceable & leave a void that will never be filled. It seems there’s ALWAYS been Uncle Francis, “Jake”, “Sam”, or Carter, but now you’re gone. I know you will sadly be missed by everyone who knew you. We LOVE you Uncle Francis.

Aunt Thelma and cousin Barb, my thoughts are with you at this time of loss in your life.I only have memories of when we were kids and I enjoyed myself very much when we got together. I was always fond of all of you. I wish we could have spent more time together as we got older. But our lives change as we grow. I am sorry I didn’t stay in touch,but the memories are great! I love and miss you’s Jeanie(Pierce)Griffith
