Today we came across this photo of a sunset on Sebec Lake. It reminded us of Frank and we decided to share it with all of you.

Dear Aunt Esther and Everybody,
Please accept my prayers for all of you and especially for the repose of the soul of Frankie. I'm so glad I got to see him at the 100th birthday party. I'm sorry I couldn't be with you for the funeral, but I know you understand that it is just too far to come. Know that each of you will be in my thoughts and in my prayers for your continued comfort and peace. God bless you, Sr Mary Francis (Elinor)
