We are so sorry for your lost. We just learned of Frank's passing and are out of town now so we can't attend this wonderful man's funeral. He will be missed by all who knew him, especially Petersburg Elks # 237.

We are so sorry for your great loss. May the God who binds up the broken-hearted and comforts all who mourn sustain your family during this challenging time (Isaiah 61:1,2) with heartfelt sympathy.
