Frank, Rickey and Andrea I send my heartfelt sympathy to all of you for your loss. This is sent from Pam who had the pleasure of being Brian, Ricky and Andrea's babysitter when Brain was in elementary school. I'll always remember how Brian and Rickey kept sneaking cookies from the kitchen behind my back. It was such happy times.... I just happened to see this notice in the paper and wanted to send my prayer of condolence to you. May God give you strenth during your time of bereavement. Pamela Parker

To Frank and family, with sincere love we are praying for you. May God give you the strength you need at this hour. Remember Jesus said "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" John 11:25
Keep the faith.
