Dear Becky and Rose,
I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Frank's death. I had a wonderful visit with him a couple years ago. I am presently remembering a long ago visit you all made to Asheville. And also remarkably, I have recently been going through some of my mom's pictures and found a number of pictures of your parents and your two smiling faces.
My love to all.

Becky,Rose and families,
WE are thinking of you at this difficult time. I did not even know about your dad's passing until my mom told me the other day. I can just remember how sweet of a man he was when we were little. I will never forget that big St. Barnard you all took care of. Keep all those happy memories close to your heart and they will get you by.
WE are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
