We were so lucky to know Frank and Mary. Mary was like a mother to us as she dispensed priceless advice while tending to our children. Frank loved our children and we are grateful that we became part of their family for so many years. Frank and I watched football film together and he taught me many x's and o's while we enjoyed a cold adult beverage. We miss you at St. Hugo. We hope you and Mary are together with our Trey. Your family is held in the highest esteem by ours. Peace and God Bless.
