To the Tucei family.

I am in total shock. I can not imagine losing a brother and now your dad. I am so so sorry to hear of the losses. I can only say that the two of them are together and safe and sound with God our saviour. I will keep you all in my prayers in this time of need. Mr Frank rest in peace and always watch your family from the heaven of God .
