Dear Eileen, Mark, Tim, Chris, Matthew, and Maureen,

I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of dear Uncle Frank. I am sorry for your loss of the man who was the epitome of graciousness. I have fond memories of Frank and the rest of your family. He had the best smile and a wonderful voice. It was an honor to have him as an uncle.

To Aunt Eileen and all my cousins: I am so sorry for the loss of your father and my uncle. I remember when I was a little girl Uncle Frank would visit us and recite the "Jabberwocky" for me over and over. He was a wonderful influence on me in my childhood. Although it has been a few years since I've seen Frank, I remember him lovingly. .

We share in your loss of a fine and intellectual man, a man who was loved by friends and family. Frank's wit and poetry will be missed.
Our love and sympathy to the McGowan family.
