Josephine, Dena, Beth and Keith,

We were so sad to learn of Frankie's passing. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. Unfortunately we were unable to attend his services, as our daughters and their familes were with us for the week after the 4th. Give our love to Josephine.

Keith,

My deepest sympathies go out to you and your sisters on the loss of your grandfather. It has been years since I have seen you but you have always been in my thoughts. I know that your grandfather is with your dad and they are happy together once again. Again my thought and prayers go out to you and your family.

Regards,

Laurie Burlock

Dena, I am so sorry for the loss of your grandfather. I'm not sure if you remember me, but I used to work with you way back in State Mutual. You were never forgotten...
