Dear Nancy, Our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Frank was a wonderful man and I am so sorry that I did not get to know you folks sooner. He was a true DeFriece and his love of family was genuine. I am proud to have had him for our cousin. GOD has taken
a good, kind, and wonderful man into his final reward. May GOD bless you and his children. Someday maybe I will get to meet his children. Love your cousin Shelby DeFriece Peto, Amanda Peto Peterson and Delphine Peto Duff and the other DeFriece's here in Ohio

Nancy, my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. My Dad, John Cowan, and Frank were childhood friends and he showed such compassion and support when we lost Dad, last year. What a great man Frank was and we will all truly miss him.

Dear Nancy,
I dearly miss those old Mackenzie-Ivy
board meetings and the times we all enjoyed after them. Intelligent,soft-spoken and good-humored, Frank always seemed to be a born trustee and board member. It was a great pleasure to know him -- and to visit you both in Bristol.

Nancy, I am certain that words of comfort cannot heal the pain in your heart during this very difficult time. I shall always remember Mr. DeFriece and his kindnesses from the time I started working at the S.E. Massengill Company until I retired from Glaxo-SmithKlline 30 years later.

I will be praying for friends to comfort you, faith to uphold you, and loving memories to help you smile again.

With Sincerest Sympathy,

Imogene Riley

Mark, Paul and Polly,
Your parents were very special. I have fond memories of our mothers' adventures with flowers, painting, bridge and just laughing. Our fathers had a special bond thru Rotary. Some of my favorite photographs of Charles and my wedding were taken by Frank. Please accept my deepest condolences.
I will miss him too.
Kindly,
