Hi To the Aunt Sally and Family,
I want to thank you for sending the memorial card. My deepest sympathy to all the family. I loved my Uncle Frank he was truly a great man and special to me, partly because he was very special to my Dad. We have so many childhood memories include all of you. Like cousin Joanie said, Friday night Brush Football games and at Aunt Sally and Uncle Frank's are highlights. A warm welcome and a roaring fire always awaited. Do you know I still have your old park bench you gave me when you moved south. And than I moved it to Georgia. My Prayers are with you Aunt Sally, Lindy, Ken, Bill and the entire family. I miss you all very much. Love, Jill Bayer Roberts

So sorry to here about Uncle Frank. By the pictures I'd say he had a wonderful life! I shared the post with Tom and we spent an hour on the phone talking about the old days. I always remember going to your house on the hill and watching the football half time show from the up stairs room. Its strange the things we remember. Oh, one other thing, Tom and my girls and I all could see my dad in the way your dad stood and dressed in the later years. I never thought they looked a lot alike when they were younger.
Again sorry for your loss. We will all be keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers. Joanie Bayer Jensen
