Hi Bev, I hope you remember me Judy Merriman a fellow classmate at Flint Central and I lived across the Street from your handsome husband Frank. I admired him from afar. Sorry to hear of his passing so hard to say goodbye to our sweethearts I married Tom Hoholik a St. Mike's guy and were still hanging in after 64 years. I wanted to say hello and wish you and your family peace during this difficult time. You two were a perfect match.
