Mrs. Bishop, Jerry, Bubba, Connie, Faye and Dotti,
Unfortunately I have been without power due to the storm and was only informed today (9/6) about your husband and dad. I am so sorry I did not have the chance to pay my last respects to him. Please know that your family has always meant a lot to Frankie and I...and I am sure...Frankie welcomed him home and maybe, just maybe, they are sitting on some beautiful bank...fishing!
