Frank Guest sends his sympathies to the Prizer family. On March 24 he fell off a truck at the gun club and broke his leg. He had surgery and is now at the Reading Post Acute Rehab Hospital recovering. He is doing very well without any problems. He sends his apologies for not being at the funeral.

Mrs Prizer and Linda and family; What an honest business man which I was so happy to have him for the man to turn to when I was trying to keep the Cemetery equipment going. Our fun talking about the PSU games and being there. Take care and I am sure God is watching over all of you to help sustain you.
