Frank was such a remarkable and beloved man. He lives on, in each of you.
Marjorie, Debbie, Karen, Vivian, Vernon, Kevin, Stephen, Mickey, Bill, and Phranque, and your families ~ you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
His story reminded me of events that I had long forgotten, as well as things I never knew. Reading it brought back many wonderful family memories too.
Thinking of you all with love.
