Claudine and family,
My sincerest condolences to you and your family. I don´t receive the Midland paper and have been going through cancer treatment myself. I discovered this by accident and was so taken back. I remember when my son Nick used to hang out with Jacob when they were little/young. You´re in my thoughts and prayers. May God keep His loving arms around you and hold you up in the days ahead. May He comfort you in your days ahead and give you peace. Thinking of you!

Claudeen, I am truly saddened by Frank's passing. I know that he will be missed by many that have crossed his path in life. I met Frank over 53 years ago. He was one of the first people I met when I started working at Dow Chemical. Then he and I were in the National Guard together working in the Motor Pool, for Leo.
I enjoyed the time we shared together over the years.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family .
