Quinn Francis (Fra) Died 12th September 2022 1st Anniversary We still can’t believe we are writing this insertion. Sometimes life is cruel with no real understanding. A full year without seeing your face, hearing your voice, listening to your jokes and most of all missing the best hugs of all. You were the first child, first son and the best brother to Liam, Lisa and Arlene. The best wee cuz to our Tina. You were only 50 when God took you Fra. He didn’t only take you, he took a part of each of us. The only consolation out of our loss is that you’re with mummy, who you sorely missed everyday while you were on earth. Sometimes a death of a loved one questions Gods doing but then we remember he only takes the best for his garden. The heartache is surreal and hurts like hell, not only emotional pain but physical pain as days we ache all over as your passing has taken it’s toll. You could make us laugh and cry at the same time with your sense of humour. You also tested our buttons but wouldn’t change you for the world because you were our Fra. Even when people speak your name we listen with pride because you’re remembered for being an absolute gem no matter what troubles you had. You loved your family dearly and adored your kids. Some people write poems on days like this but a day like this we want to remind the world how much we love you. You are thought about every single day no matter whether tears flow our cheeks or whether smiles reach from ear to ear. We promise you as life goes on you will never ever be forgotten. Somedays we can’t even read our last texts because it’s still so raw. The way we feel at the minute we will never get over your loss until God calls all our names. Losing a parent/wife is so hard and now we have lost a son/brother, life is extremely difficult. Days we find it hard to breath freely without it hurting. As a family of six, our family chain is broken, but we hold onto the fact we know it’s not a goodbye forever it’s a see you later because one day we will all be together again. As our family motto is “as a family our hearts beat as one” and that’s no matter whether heaven and earth separate us. You were so loved while on this earth and still so loved while in heaven. We know you got the biggest hug upon your arrival from mummy. We will finish this off the way you finished our calls “we love ya to bits” or as you said to your kids “mates forever“. Sorely missed by your heartbroken daddy, your brother Liam, sisters Lisa and Arlene. Missed by all their partners and also your nieces and nephew xx
