Dear Mack family,
We found out about Frank's passing only today. We are so sorry for your loss and ours. He was a great neighbor and gentleman. We loved to listen to his stories and see his pictures of the war and his service. Such a proud man he was. Our prayers are with all of you.
Sincerely, Deena & Gary Havens (neighbors in the Blk Frst)
