Mrs Sharp, I'm sorry I was unable to attend the services last week. Frank was one of my favorites and I will always remember him. I know that you are hurting but we both know Frank is in a much better place and will be waiting for us all, but especially you, to make us laugh and smile. It was an honor to work with Frank and to get to know you both.
