Dear Aunt Mabel,
We are so sorry to hear of Uncle Frank’s passing – thank you all very mucy for contacting us. Dad said that Uncle Frank had a difficult time since his fall – how hard it must have been for you. We do celebrate Uncle Frank’s life and his talents – I remember visiting you and listening to Uncle Frank sing barbershop – so many years ago – when we were all just kids.
Dad is doing pretty well – he’ll be headed back to Florida for the winter come mid-November – I miss him until he returns in the spring, but he loves the Florida sunshine.
God bless you and your family, and give you solace. With our love,
Debby, Harry (dad) and the Morrison/Clawson family
