Frank and family-we are so sorry about your mother passing. She is now in heaven and is free from all her struggles. No more limits from the stroke and other medical issues.
We are so happy that she was able to be at your wedding to enjoy that special committment with you. We know you loved her deeply.
We know that you spent time with her every day before going to work. She had to be very proud of you. Know that we are praying with you and for you during these days ahead. Love Monica Lett and Hope Furlow.
