Charlene:
Jim and I were so sad to read about Frank passing. He is now free of the pain and discomfort from his illness. We know his death is an enormous loss to you and his family and we extend our deepest sympathies to you and all.
Frank was a wonderful person and will be sadly missed. We were so grateful for his visits to my Dad when he was so alone at his home. Frank made special efforts to stop in and visit. We appreciated all Frank did.
He will be missed by all and naturally, by you most of all. Our prayers and thoughts go out to you.
