We are very sorry to hear about your loss.  I know what it’s like. I just lost my father not long ago.  Frank will be missed greatly, but like my father, he is with God now.  Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

Dear Joyce and family, Please accept our deepest sympathy. Our hearts broke when we saw the news of Franks’ passing. He was a mentor and great friend to me as we had our morning time together at the YMCA. Joyce, you folks had been on my mind and I regret not calling when I should have.  I know Frank wanted to show you Lynn’s art work. I will keep you in our prayers. I do know he is now with His Saviour, Jesus the Lord of all. Joyce please keep us in mind and hopefully we can get together. 
Your Friends in Christ, 
George and Lynn Hathy
