Dear Frank, Nancy, Gary, Shelley and Jeff - Your mom was one of the most wonderful women I have ever known. So many great memories of our time on 36th Street - sitting on the rock by your driveway waiting for Connie Coltrane to come home from kindergarten to Nancy being my babysitter to me being Shelley and Jeff's babysitter. Such a great family - you have been truly blessed. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Diane

Dear Frank,
How very blessed your marriage has been-truly made in heaven. Mary is one of the sweetest ladies I have known with such a buoyant spirit. May our gracious Father pour out His grace and comfort upon you in the coming days. Keep singing! :)
With all love, Judith
