Leanne I didn't know Frank except through FB but knowing you I could tell how much he even still means to you. Love like that is hard to find. I think about you all the time and I am praying for you. God will help you find yourself again and help your memories of all the good times you and Frank had and turn them into a sweet smile on your face. Please let your family and friends help you through this. You have always been a great friend and I'm sure an AWESOME mom and grandmother. Focus on the good. I'm going to call you very soon so we can get away for a day if you want to. Please take care of yourself and know you CAN call me ANYTIME. I will make time for you. Your Friend Always,
