Dear Mari, Noreen, Eileen, and families,
My sincerest condolences go out to all of you today. You may recall I had the opportunity to get to know your Dad in the summer of '72 after the ravages of Agnes. To this day an indelible memory for me through the years was your Dad's unwavering patience during the whole ordeal. I'm sure all of you will miss him immensely, and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

So sorry for your loss. Your Dad Frank was a great friend and staff manager of my late husband George Kovalich when they worked together at Prudential. I have many fond memories of his visits to my home and at company social functions. May he rest in peace. God bless you.
