Dear Mary Ann, Anne, Jane and all of the family. We are so sorry to hear of Frank passing and saddened that we were not aware until so late. He was a very dear, sweet man and a good friend to our family. I know Mary Ann and Skip would have many wonderful stories to tell if they were still with us and I'm sure they were glad to see him when they welcomed him home. We will keep all of you in our prayers tomorrow as we will be unable to attend the services due to prior commitments. Love to all,
