Dear Marilyn and family,
Frank and my husband, Mickey Bressler, were classmates at Farragut for many years. In fact, our first date was going to Dr. Altschul's house in Little Silver to watch a boxing match with Frank, Jr. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. May God bless you. Janet Garrity Bressler, Fairfax Station, Va.
