Dear Kathleen and Family,

Jim and I are so sad for you and your family. Frank was such a vital husband, father, and grandfather. Our family remembers the fun we had at your home a long time ago = with Frank, his garden and carrier pigeons and the lively conversations.

Our prayers will be for his soul and for all of you in your sorrow. Love, Connie, Jim and Family
