I had the pleasure and privilege of knowing Francesca as a friend and as her boss at work. I just found out that she is gone, and I am sad beyond words. Francesca was the embodiment of happiness, energy, caring, and love of life. Everything she touched she made better. Including me. I will miss her, but I will never forget her. GQ

Thank you for picking me as a friend. Thank you for realizing how much of an introvert I am and forcing me out of my shell anyway. Thank you for the smiles, the laughs, the dangerous stunts, for never judging, and for never giving up on me. I love you for in-trusting in me to pray for you and your family. Until we meet again. I love you!!❤️

My sincerest condolences on your loss. Francesca was truly a remarkable woman who weathered her storm with grace and courage. She will undoubtedly remain an inspiration to all she encountered!
Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs.

How can I not look back to my childhood and smile as a result of my friendship with Francesca?  She was a light that drew so many people to her. Her beautiful, brave, witty, and intelligent soul would often bring a smile to my face. I remember when we were in school, she would barely study and then ace an exam effortlessly.  I remember her openly sharing her faith in God. I remember her passion for music and her zest for life. She was so much to so many and I think we can all agree that she was a one-of-a-kind angel that blessed those she met. I'm eternally grateful that God allowed us to talk on the day she passed, God knew that the gift of listening to her praying, and trusting in Him would live with me forever. Her legacy will live on because her love lives on.

Francesca was such a warm person. Back in the day we had a great time.

She was such a light, I took care of her in her last days. I am grateful I met her in the little time we had together she had a great spirit and I will always remember her. I will keep her family and children in my prayers 🙏🏾

I remember the long drive form New York to "meet my Miami cousins."  I had never talked to them on the phone or even seen a photo. I was nervous.  "What if they were weird... or didn't like me?"  Those thoughts kept spinning in my head the whole drive.

I remember we pulled up into the driveway in our Toyota Camry hatchback and hopped out the car because someone needed to use the bathroom.  We didn't even take the luggage out of the car before Francesca and Lisa were welcoming me and Synthia with hugs and kisses.

We were in our own special episode of MTV Cribs where you showed us the house.  The tour ended in the room you both shared. Full of girl stuff that I didn't really care about.  But... you had a radio that was turned on low.  I'll never forget that "Welcome to Miami" by Will Smith was playing and you both performed every lyric and ad lib.  Francesca claimed the last verse and jumped on her bed and rapped the entire thing without missing a beat.

At that moment,  I understand what it meant to be family... to feel at home wherever the love is.  I never forgot that,  and I made it a point to never burn that bridge.   I'll never hear Francesca rap that verse again, but the memories last forever.
