My deepest sympathies to the McDonough family, and especially to my dear friend, Frank. The greatest tribute I can pay to Mrs. McDonough is that, in Frank, she raised a wonderful, caring, and compassionate man. Through Frank's stories, I felt like I knew his entire family,and I grieve with you and will remember all of you in my prayers.
