To my Uncle Frank,
You used to have Tracy hunt me down to get my "hello" spanking on the piano bench. You never spanked me. You would just hold me there and tease me. I know you loved me in your own way. Tracy would say if he doesn't mess with, then he doesn't like you. Well, I guess you liked me a lot! I hope heaven is sweet to you and say "hi" to Judy for me. My mom would say that you were the biggest grizzly bear, but also the sweet teddy bear! Hugs and kisses whether you want them or not. xoxox


- Love Stacy
