My Dear Friend Marianne

I am going to miss Frank so much when I am in Florida. May in Florida just won't be the same without the 2 of you. How much we all were looking forward to this May.
If you need anything or if there is anything at all that I can do for you just call.
I love you and hope to see you in Florida again.

Sherry Lynn, Tina Lee, Ranger and Jill
P.S.
Jill also said to tell you how sorry she was and hopes that you still come to Fla. in May. She also said how much she enjoyed the company of you and Frank when she came to visit at the Page.

Marianne, I know you will probably not remember me...I’m the youngest of Eula's children. I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Frank's passing...please know that you are in my prayers. I wish we had all stayed in contact thru the years but that is life. I also didn't realize you had been married for 47 years! I can still remember when Frank brought you over to introduce you to our family...I was so very jealous...you were so beautiful and I was his best girl at the time and knew that was over for me! You were a blessing to the family and I know you will miss him tremendously. God bless you now as you go on your journey without Frank physically but I know his spirit and memories will always be in your heart!
Deepest sympathy
Connie (Eula's baby girl)
