Sometimes I just stare at your picture and wait for you to tell me something you think I need to hear.

It was an honor to be your granddaughter. To know you in such close proximity. You were a blessing to everyone you crossed paths with. You taught me so much about life and everything it contains. I am so grateful for Georgia's time with you. I miss our talks. I miss you.

Randy and family, I'm sorry for your loss.
My sister called to let me know of Frankie passing away. You probably don't remember me and my family. We now live in Michigan.
Again I'm sorry for your loss. All my prayers are with you and your family
