To the Gorman Family, We are so sorry for your loss. The neighborhood will never be the same without seeing Frank doing chores outside the house. He was always so helpful to us when we first moved to Stockton St. He gave us light (bulb), and now he has eternal light.

Love Marcia, Charlie & Sarah Graham

Dear Alice Rose and the entire Gorman family,
My deepest sympathy in your loss of Frank. It's been so many years but I still have such fond memories of my years of being part of the"family' as Ray's wife.

Such fond memories I have of "Grandpa Frank" he was a joy to be around, a sweet, wonderful person. He is my ex-father in law and the loving Grandfather to my son Dylan Gorman. You WILL be missed! I guess God thought it was time to call you home so you would not suffer anymore. I'm sure you already have your Angel Wings and I know your spirit will remain in all of our souls. My Love, Heart and Prayers to the whole Gorman family....Peace, Roxanne
