Heart is heavy hearing about Franny. A wonderful woman who I have known all my life. I was touched when she baked cookies at our wedding. One gesture among many acts of generosity. Boriana and I express our deepest condolences to Jerry and Cindy and their families.
I hadn’t seen Fran since I was a teenager when our families, the Ciccones and Cavicchias, would all visit in Coraopolis. She was a lovely woman who always left us smiling from her kindness. To her children, Cindy and Jerry, and their families, please accept Trish’s and my deepest sympathy for your loss.
Aunt Franny my God mother has always been so kind to me loving and caring she was a amazing cook everytime we went to visit her she made sure we had full belly’s and a care package for the ride back to Ohio I will miss you always love Chris O’Brien
Cindy and family, I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. My Godfather (your Uncle George) would sit with my dad and reminisce about their younger days growing up “on the hill” by OLSH, talking about their families and siblings and the fun they all had! Your mom was always right there with them in those beloved memories! I’m sure they are all together in Heaven still laughing! Your mom was such a sweet lady!
