Dear Polly,
We are so sorry about your loss of Frank. He was a very special person. I remember how he helped me hang sheetrock in my basement as well as many other things when we lived beside you and Frank.
We will always remember how much he loved to work in the yard. The beautiful flowers and plants were a tribute to his love for them.
We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
With God’s love,
John & Rosette
