Frank, we are sad to learn the loss of your Mother. We think that she was fortunate to have 95 years on earth as well as a son like you.
Frank-
Your mother was a true
lady – as well as a strong and
loving person. My prayers
are with you – even after
taking so long to write. Both
of your parents will be missed. MarLisa Mills
