Dear Gloria & Barb, I think about you often and pray for your strength and healing. I know it has been very hard. Not a day goes by that I don't think about your Dad, Mom, franky & Mary. I catch myself waiting for my weekly call, checking if I have an upcoming appt. For Mary, or picking up the phone to call and check in. I miss them so much and can't imagine how much you both do as well. Just know I think about you two and send my prayers. Tina

Dear Barb and Gloria, I am so sorry to hear about your immeasurable loss.

I have many fond childhood memories of fun times spent with your family, playing in your yard and in the neighborhood.

Your parents were one of the anchors of the neighborhood, always lending a smile, friendly words and a helping hand to all. Their love and devotion to their family was boundless.

May you find solace in knowing that Frankie and Mary will be lovingly cared for by your mom and dad for eternity as they were here on earth.
May they rest in peace and may God bless you and your families at this difficult
time.

Dear Gloria and Barbara, I have been so saddened to learn of the passing of your father and mother and your two siblings. Your father and I shared the same birthday and we kidded about that for many years. In June of this year a few days after our mutual birthday the Moorheads and I had lunch with them. We probably overstayed our visit but we shared so many memories with them and it seemed we all were reliving the past. May God Bless you and your families and give you peace.

Barbara and Gloria - our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your families. My mother (Gerry Freie Thompson) and your mother were first cousins. I remember all of you so well and the love and devotion your parents showered on all their children. May God watch over you and comfort you in this time of sorrow.

I worked for the Dentist Mary & Frank Jr, went to. Frank Sr, was always SO loving and caring with both of the children and a joy to be around. It has been many, many years since I last saw them, but they have always been in my thoughts. May God watch over the family during this most difficult time.
