Every day working with Francine and Harry over at the Lamarian head office in Landover was always an adventure. Smiles and wise cracks, good cheese and of course wine. Great times that we all miss. Business in America needs more Francines. Uncle Lamar knows that too.
I'll never forget teaching Francine voice lessons - she had so much talent, energy, and enthusiasm and introduced me to a lot of classic rock music! I'm glad I was able to know her, even for a short time.
Dear Harry and Family,
Sending heartfelt condolences over the loss of Francine. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Fondly,
Marie Saccoccio
Harry,we were very shocked and upset to hear the sad news about your wife Francine and we want you and your family to know of our deep sympathy.She will be greatly missed for her friendly personality and a nice smiling.
God sends few special people to one's life. Francine was certainly one. Over twenty years ago we came together at work.
Our relationship was one of laughter, fun, joy and always promise. We even sang together, though I can't sing! She always brought out the best in people. Though I was unaware of her middle name - I just knew it was JOY.
Her optimism was infectious, her love of people profound, her caring of loved ones complete. God gave us something to aspire to - it was Francine and her consummate humanity...what a gift!
Francine tried to coax me to sit on the dock with a glass of wine and a cigar! What a lady! I will forever hold many lovely memories of our times together and be thankful to God for choosing us as friends.
Harry, as you heal, be bathed in the beautiful memories of your special lives together. So many couples have missed that connection. What a gift you have been blessed with. All who knew Francine have been touched by her and challenged by her spirit - I know she has prepared you until eternity when you will meet again.
Know that you are loved by those left behind. Steve and I stand ready to help you in any way we can, at any time - for a meal, a chat, a chance to grieve, to reflect, just to be. Your family is held up in our prayers.
Love, Marilyn and Steve Bandy
A truly wonderful person whose full enjoyment of singing will be missed. Anna Fitzgerald
