Frank, my thoughts and prayers are with you and Lillian's family during this difficult time. I will always remember what wonderful neighbors you and Lillian were! I am especially grateful for the love and kindness you showed Joshua when he was little! He is 13 now and on his way to becoming a young man. I wish we were there to give you a hug and our condolences in person. Please take care of yourself.

Love & Peace,
Michelle & Joshua Leiber (formerly of E. Prov.)
