    Sending our deepest sympathies to Anna, Wally, Casey, Cecile, Eddie and family. We all grew up together , rode on the school bus together and visited back and forth. I remember Frank's beautiful garden and his yard was so clean and organized. He was a gentle soul but always made us feel welcome when we dropped in at their farm May he rest in peace and may the family have strength in on another at this difficult time. Thinking of you all at this difficult time- Mavis and family, Rick and family. .
