Dear Minerva,
I am so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. I know this has been a long struggle for you all and my love and sympathy go out to you and your families. I will never forget how kind you both have been to me. Frank was such a special person and I know how much he loved the band and all the musicians. I remember looking over at him and seeing how he loved the music that was being played and I would give him a knowing smile. He will be greatly missed by all of us. My love and prayers are with you.
Sincerely, Lois
