My siblings and I knew the Economides very well. They were our neighbors in Woodhaven. We practically grew up together. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. My sincere condolences to the family.

So sorry to hear of Francisca's passing. We were regularly sitting next to one another in class so we knew each other in that way during high school. Although I didn't know her well, I remember her being very sweet and having a beautiful smile, which I can still see in her more recent photos. I send my deepest sympathies and wishes for peace to all her family and friends.
