Thank you for your sympathy at this time of our loss. I would like to state that I am not the former wife as stated previously in the article we were still married.
To everyone who was in his life through his illness, we are very grateful. | | from: janet zappula | on: 08-01-2017 |

| Fran was an amazing cousin. I first learned to love football at his house in 1963. His mom Joan and dad Francis took my mom out of the orphanage to live with them when they got married. I have so many happy memories of those times. Fran was always like a big brother to me. So hard to see him go so soon. I praise God Fran had Janet in his life, and had Michael and his grandkids. I know I will see Fran in Heaven.... God Bless! | | from: Brett Chesbro | on: 07-24-2017 |
