Frank,
Better late than never. We always enjoyed the dinners with you, Donna, and Bob. I know you left a family that loved you very much and this world was better for having you in it.

Many a holiday celebration, a Vegas vacation, dinners, wine, coffee, books and movies to share... that's what I'll remember about Frank. Here's a photo from that first Christmas 'off the hill.' May he rest in peace.
