Dear Dotty I am so sorry I cannot be with you at this time. I will always miss my favorite cousin. I saw this poem and I felt it was written just for Frank.
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around you
and He whispered, "Come to me".
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest
God broke my heart to prove to me
He only takes the best.
Love and prayers to all of you.
Your Southern...

FONDLY,

How fortunate we were to have our Uncle Fran who together with Auntie Dot made a great couple and built a beautiful family. They lived a true partnership and they did it with style.

Uncle Fran was a full member of the Greatest Generation: a son of parents who came to the USA in search of a better life, a child of the Great Depression who served his country at time of war, and a self-made businessman who built his company literally with his own hands relying on his work ethic and his...

So so sorry for your loss. Mr Reilly was such a great person. Always told me how our family (Fennell) was the first to have a phone and no matter what he could remember our number. a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Loved to see his weekly drive by Fenno st! They are having a great party upstairs!
Sending all our prayers and love

Dot, I was so sad to hear about Frank's passing. I often thought of him and how kind he was to us as our oilman. He will be missed. - Pauline and Maurice
