Dear Frank and Mrs. Wait,



I know you will treasure the wonderful memories you have of your dad. It is very difficult to lose the first teachers that we have in life. The lost of a parent is something that remains with us forever. May you know that God's grace is with you and your family during the difficult days ahead.



With love,



Mary Ann Essid-Ryan

My darling Uncle Frank -- A strong, handsome, loving and fun man. He may be in heaven now, but he'll always also remain in my heart. I guess that is why it is hurting right now -- he's settling in for the rest of my life.



I loved you, Uncle Frank!



Yola and kids, I am sorry I cannot be there in person, but know that I am holding you all in my thoughts. Much love to you all!
