Aunt Carol, I'm so sorry to hear of Uncle Fran's passing. I just found out today, so unfortunately, I won't be able to be there for his service.

I hope to get up there for a visit, this summer, but I don't have any current phone numbers, so I am leaving mine here. 856-305-1967 please call, when you're able.

Love, Tom Blatt
