To Therese and all my cousins; Our hearths hurt along with yours on the passing of Frank. May the peace of God be with you always. My fondest memory of cuz' is being a young boy starting to go to church because, "Frank had joined church". The last time I saw him, he was playing checkers with my parrain Clifford at the shop. We will miss both of them. Be blessed family! Kenneth Barrett and family.
