To Marianna and family,

My dad and I just want to let you know that we were sad to hear of your loss. We got to know Frank and Marianna at Golden Living Center where my mother was also a resident. We understand what you are going through because we lost my mother in October. You are in our thoughts and prayers!
God Bless!

I worked with Frank in the City Engineer's office for almost twenty five years. Anytime I needed a friend, Frank was always there for me.
