Melvin Lowe: Victim of accident loved life, will not be forgotten

Re “Crash victim recalled as loving wife, mother” (Page 3A, May 28): Rida Franco was that once in a lifetime person who would leave an impression on you like no other. If you looked up selflessness in the dictionary, Rida’s picture would come up. Her exuberance, love of life, and infectious personality was an inspiration to all she touched. She and many of her family members worked with us for many years, and she was family to us. She will be missed, but not forgotten.

Melvin Lowe, Modesto
