To Frankie and family.....my deepest condolences on the loss of your father and grand father, and probably so much more to those who loved him. May the peace and comfort of our Lord Jesus surround you with a calm assurance that He is with you during the days ahead. Lean not on your understanding but on His Grace, for his strength is sufficient to see you through.
