Dear Sharie and Kim, Paul just heard about Frank's death at a meeting this morning. We were so sad to hear this news. We both have fond memories of the fun we all had together at dinner parties. Frank was always so funny and kept us all laughing. Our prayers are with you both, as well as our deepest sympathy.

Dear Sharon and Kim. Mom called me last night to say that Frank had died. Oh I am so sorry to hear this. I was at a friends house and was able to share with them the many fond memories of sleeping over and sitting on "my stool" while you ate dinner at the house on 52nd street. May all the love and memories you had with Frank last forever and ever. Blessings to you! Love Julie Swokowski (Stockhausen)
