Dear Uncle Frankie,
God Bless and rest in peace. I will always remember the contraptions you rigged, clam cakes in the summer, and discussing good books.
I remember the intense ride to the hospital, via Jamaica Pond during a snow storm, in order get me to the hospital in time to deliver my first baby!
Thanks for the memories.
I am positive that you are with family members, who welcomed you with open arms.
Love,
Audrey

To Paul, Jeannette, Ryan, Lauren, Sean, Mrs. McNair and All of the McNair Children- We will cherish the many years of happy memories with Mr. M, the times we visited in West Roxbury and Onset-"Dew(Do)Drop Inn", his potato/egg salad, all of our weddings,christenings, and birthday parties- He always had a joke,funny story,a ready laugh, and a deep love of his sweet Claire and pride in his children and their families-Though our years in Texas have seen us at fewer of these gatherings, those family memories in which he was a part will never leave our hearts. Long-distance prayers have also been with you this week- may you have comfort in remembering him.
Love, Steve and Mary
