Our Dear Friend of 58 Years Fran Pelle has moved to be with our Heavenly Father in Heaven. We met in the Bessemer building located in downtown Pittsburgh. We first met while interviewing for jobs with Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. We both got hired and it was the beginning of a long friendship. When Met Life moved to Greentree Parkway Center we both moved with the company to the new office. We went out to many dances together. You were one of my bridesmaids at my wedding back on June 29, 1963 @ St. Cyril Of Alexandria Catholic Church (Brighton Heights North Side). My parents loved you. Your laugh would make another person laugh just hearing it. We rode a Greyhound bus to Camden, New Jersey to attend a US Navy Ball with my Fiancee, Jay in 1961. While we exited the bus to stretch.....some guy took your seat. When we came back he was asleep and you tapped him and said "sir this is my seat" but he would not budge. You yelled out loud ""your not asleep and this is one for the books". You had to move to another seat. We both laughed about it as in those days everything was funny. We were Pelle & Kelly (only 4 months apart in age). When strolling around Heaven look for my younger brother Jack he'll know you, my parents, and brothers Eddie & Jimmy. SOooooo glad we kept in touch all these years !!!!! Eternal Rest Grant To Fran And Let Perpetual Light Shine Upon Her. May Her Soul And All The Souls Of The Faithful Departed Rest In Peace....Amen.
