John, you have my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your classmate, best friend, wife, and mother of your son.  I got to meet Francis during our Xavier Class Reunions that she encouraged you to attend :)  We had some good times together that I will cherish forever.    Take care and may your Faith sustain you and your son during this difficult time.

Dear Francis,
  Rest in peace in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Your spirit will live on in your loved ones, especially your faith-filled husband, John and your loving son, Cameron. Thank you for your devotion to and support of NOBC. Who knew that our singing at yours and John's wedding 33 years ago would lead to such a lasting camaraderie. We were indeed blessed. 
In loving memory,
Juanita and Sedonia

Rest In Peace my Friend and Classmate. A true friend is never gone, their spirit lives on in memories of those who loved them. A very smart person, thank you for not allowing me to copy off you in class, made me a better person.
