David Franco was born on December 19, 1966, with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (or cc-TGA). David was actually a pioneer as an early cc-TGA Survivor. He was an avid athlete, an advocate for the congenital heart defect (CHD) community, and a devout Catholic. David passed away after over 5 decades of living with his funky heart. He passed due to complications from his CHD on March 12, 2020 - during a coronavirus-complicated world so some family members weren't even able to attend the funeral.

This episode is an opportunity for David's mother, sister, and two of his brothers to share memories with Anna of David. Anna also shares some memories and conversations she had with David, who was the Producer of "Heart to Heart with Anna" for years, as well as a frequent Sound Engineer, and the Host of "Heart to Heart with Nicole and David" - one of the podcasts in the HUG Podcast Network.

Join us in this episode as we share stories, laughter, and tears while remembering a very special Heart Warrior.
