Mr. Frahm, i have just learned about Jeans passing. I know four years have passed, but I know the pain is still there as I lost my Mike in January if 2013. I miss him so much. I so enjoyed Jean and remember her favorite flower being Freshia. God Bless and know you are in my prayers.

Dearest Don, Heather, Tim, and Mark,

It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of this most lovely woman, wife and mother. Jean showed her grace, courage, and humor often and without fail. She is one of my favorite people and I was blessed to know her. And she is one of Matthew's favorites.......he can hear her voice saying hello to him with the same phrase, which he can imitate and which unfailing made him happy.

I am sorry that I was unaware of her passing until now. I can only believe that she is at peace and I hope you all are at peace as you miss her mightily.

With love,
Charlie, Diann, Charlie A. & Matthew
