Dear Gail and Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We are so sorry to hear about Frank. Frank and Libby were wonderful neighbors of ours on Montrose when we first moved to Florida in 1983. They both treated our daughter Jenifer as if she was a member of their own family. I can still see Frank pushing her on the swing and playing horseshoes with John in the back yard. Your parents were very wonderful people and will be greatly missed. God Bless you and your family, Love, John, Vicki, Jenifer & Michael Relich Tucson, Arizona
