To the entire McDermott family; I am so very sorry to hear of "Uncle Frank's" passing. I was young but do have fond memories of going to New York and visiting Uncle Frank, Aunt Betty & your family. You may not remember, but I do, and we all had such fun. I also remember your family visiting us in Auburn MA also. My Dad always had great funny stories about times spent together. And I myself, rememeber both your parents, big warm smiles. May wonderful lifetime memories ease your pain at this time. Thinking of you. Your cousin, Lisa (McDermott) Beegles -- (Richie & Joan McDermott's daughter)

I was sorry to read that Cousin Frank passed away. My mother and father always spoke so highly of Betty and Frank throughout the years sharing the stories of their children from the christenings to the weddings.
My thoughts are with you.
