Dear Franny, I have many fond memories of coming to Embreeville as a child while our parents visited. It was many many years ago. I even remember your grandmother...both of them!
I hope the happy memories of your father and the blessing of a warm and loving family bring you comfort at this sad time.
Thinking of you and your mom and your family.
