My condolences. There are not many words at a time like this, but we can pour out our hearts to God, whom is a refuge for us.

So sorry to hear about Frank's passing. He was a true mensch. Fortunately, I was able to talk with him at The Canterbury. His knowledge of making learning appropriate for students was stellar. I had the privilege of writing a Reader's Theatre activity for him years ago. RIP
