Karen and family, Please accept my sincere sympathy. I would not have known Frank if it were not for Karen and I am so glad I did. I know for sure that the two of you brought so much happiness to each other. It made me smile to see you together.

My sincere condolences to you and your entire family for the loss of your dad. Having lost both my parents in the last 2 years, I deeply feel your loss. As you well know, dad is now at Home resting peacefully with your mom. It is my belief that some day we will all be joined together with all our loved ones that have gone before us, and we will all sit at the table and break bread for the most delicious meal we have ever tasted. Frankie, I also believe that the music up there is so beautiful, the we could not even comprehend it. Yes, mom and dad are dancing, arm in arm to that beautiful music.

Dear Anna Maria, Christina,

I was so sorry to hear about your father, grandfather's, passing.
I knew him from when he had his shoe repair shop on N. 2nd ave. next to Red Cab. He was a very nice and friendly guy. He would do anything to help you out if you needed it.

I pray all your memories are happy ones. I pray also for you as you will be feeling an extreme loss.

Love,

Fran Cox
