Dear Eleanor,

Please let me express my condolences over Frank's passing. I have many fond memories of lots of visits from you and Frank both here and in N.H. As a matter of fact, Frank, you and Phil were on our honeymoon in N.H. when we stayed at Bob's place for three weeks. He had just bought it and was generous enough to give it to us to use. Weekends brought lots of guests that Sept. of 1968.

Your rides and travels were often a source of pleasure to hear when I was home raising our children. You both seemed so adventurous and I was in awe of hearing so many details. I can still hear you both talking about your visits to the Southwest and Phil. You both had such a way with words and I could just imagine the color of the red soil and hoping that someday I could visit there when my children were older. It is great to be part of a big family and to share in so many wonderful blessings. The circle of life has ended for Frank but his memory and sense of humor and wit will always be in our hearts. Your family has suffered a big loss.

Love,

Angela
