Dear Carol,
I know it has been awhile, but I am very sorry to hear that Frank passed. Last time I saw Frank was with my husband in K-Mart in Vineland. I will never forgot all the fun times we all had, the ride to Woodstock that I passed up to keep a little Hamberburger place open. Years ago I did go to Franks father Blackie's viewing, I am sorry that I am unable to do the same for Frank. I really hope that he did not suffer and went peacefully. With Love and respect Rose Arkainno Piper Layton
