Dear Frank and Melissa,
I wrote a message, but don't think it got posted, my mistake.
Joe and I are in total shock to hear about your Mom. She was my best friend and neighbor while they lived next door. Missed her when she left Bowie and so sorry I didn't keep in touch with her. My condolences to you both and the rest of the family. So sorry we're unable to be there for the Funeral.
