Mrs. Frahm was my most favorite teacher, and from whom my love of learning blossomed. In 1st grade, she gifted me a copy of "Frog and Toad Are Friends", and wrote in the cover "To Sunny. Love Mrs. Frahm. 1986." It remains one of my most cherished keepsakes. I always imagined I would go visit Mrs. Frahm again as an adult, to show her what I made of myself, and for her to be proud of me. My deepest condolences to her family.

To Tim, Gabi, Christian, Ina, and "Aunt" Ruby,
As another FOCUS alum, I am blessed with lovely memories of your Linda: the warmth of her hugs, her face in the firelight, how she threw a softball, and how she led us in a cheer to urge our broken-down bus up a hill. In every memory, of course, there is that smile. Our thoughts and prayers are truly with you all.

"Mrs. Frahm always sang 'Sto Lat' whenever it was somebodys birthday!" was what my (now sophomore) son said about his beloved 1st grade teacher. Mrs. Frahm truly cared about each child in her class and touched so many lives! We are blessed to have had her teach our son and give him wonderful memories of school! Thank you, Frahm Family, for sharing her with us, ... and with all the District 57 families!

We've lived in the Frahm's neighborhood for as long as I can remember- Linda was always a happy go lucky person who loved her family, her pets, and her neighbors - I can still remember hearing her on a summer day walking by our house and telling their newer pup to behave more like Jeiger did and that Jeiger would never do that....It made me smile- I did not know Linda real well, but what I did know of her was that this world was a better place because she was in it- My heart and prayers go to the Frahm family- God Bless Kathy Wenner

My sister, Dorothy, and I will always cherish the wonderful memories that we have of Linda many years ago in our high school youth group. Her faith, love and goodness will never be forgotten. Our love and prayers to Tim and her children.
