Not sure what to say?

Dear Ginny,last Thursday I for unknown reason I searched the web for Frank's name. What a sad finding. We were such good friends for some 25 years. Our thoughts and prayers are with Frank and You and Your Family. May God's peace be with you and yours.

Dear Ginny, McGuire called to tell me about Buzz. What a loss for all of us. He was always so welcoming whenever, We sure will miss him. Was looking forward to seeing him at our 60th. Wishing you and yours the best. Lovies, Puddie

I was Frank's classmate at Yale and at HBS, where I am the long-time class secretary. I would hear from Frank at least every five years for an update on his live and career. He was a very focused and responsible father and husband and businessman and public citizen. He will be missed by all in those communities.

Aunt Virginia and family, I feel fortunate to have met Uncle Buzz and have spent some time with him in the later years of his life. I cherish the thought of meeting such a wonderful family man and trusted advisor on life's issues. May your hearts be in comfort knowing Uncle Buzz will be missed by so many other hearts he touched, including mine.

Aunt Virginia , I am so sorry we were not able to be with all of you last week. Uncle Buzz will be so missed. I have so many wonderful memories of growing up in Cleveland & spending so much time at your house. I loved the bantering back & forth we use to do with each other. I will never forget the wonderful headband he gave me for my 30th birthday. I know that he and my dad are up in heaven together keeping an eye on all of us & yes Nate, fishing the trout streams in heaven. We love...

To the Beam family, especially Annabel and Nancy, I am so sorry to learn of the death of your brother, and especially of his ordeal with Parkinson's Disease.

Annabel, if you are visiting Nancy, please get in touch with me at South Franklin Circle. I'd love to get in touch with you. Mary Jane Davis Hartwell lives here too.
My phone is: 440-893-9202

I will be there in my thoughts today. Frank was a wonderful leader of the E&Y family. Peace be with you, Ginny, and your familly.

Frank always had a smile and a good word to say about others. He was always friendly, had a great sense humor and was a good example of a human being.
Sorry to hear of his passing.
I am laid up with a hamstring problem or I would be in attendance at his memorial service.
