My sympathies to all in the passing of Frank. Have fond memories of Frank always looking after my mom and dad down the street. Also, we cut a lot of wood together plus enjoying the vegetables and his laughter and smile. My pleasure to have known Frank. Pegeen--Wish you all the best will pray for your comfort during this time.
