Dear Helen and Family,

We are so sorry to hear that Frank has passed away. You and your family are all in our thoughts and prayers. What we are feeling right now is hard to put into words. Frank was such a hardworking person as he did his mechanic work for many years.

Helen, you and Frank, Tom and I and our kids had MANY good times that we have thought of through the years! Your family has had a very special place in our lives.

May you and your family ALLOW God's love wrap around each of you throughout this devastating time! Lean on Jesus, He WILL get you through ANYTHING!! In Matthew 6:8, Jesus said, "Your Father (God) knows the things you need before you ask Him." Also, John 11:55 tells us, "Jesus wept!" so He KNOWS how you feel with your loss.

Please let us know if there's anything that we can do for you.

Love and prayers, your friends always,

Ellen Bryan, and Tom II, Ginger and Julie
