So sorry to hear about Fran, hadn’t seen her in so long we hung out in Junior High. Her dad had the VW lot on Iowa back then. Remember when Richard was born. He was such a cute baby. RIP Fran
One thing the Scrivos do right is unconditionally love. My memories of Aunt Fran will always be full of warmth and charm. Rest easy Aunty! My love to all my family, may you keep the faith! Now I know where my admiration for cinema came from!
