Dear Jean and family:
My heartfelt condolences on the passing of your Frank, a fellow classmate of mine at Maryknoll in years past. His persona and sense of humor contributed greatly to the spirit of our 1966 class. His smile always brightened the lives of those blessed by his friendship and spirit. We know he is now showing the same stuff in God's Kingdom. Sincerely, Tom Cullerton

Dear, Jeannie and Family members, since the passing of Frank not one day has passed without me taking a moment to remember him. We worked together for years and we often talked by phone. We always had a good time whenever we got together at a show or somewhere. I miss him, his customers will miss him, he was a very good man. God bless Frank and his family.

Dear Jeanne and Family,

How sad it is that you were able to share dear Frank with us for only 67 or so years. Much too short. He gave us all so much.

Jeannine and I just could not get to Chicago at this time. We regret that dearly wanting to visit with you and family in person.

We shall get there some time soon, Jeanne, and see you and as much of the family as we can.

You are in our thoughts and we shall see you soon.

Love,

Frank & Jeannine Bertrand

Dear Cismoski Family,

I was so upset to hear about Mr. Cismo's passing. I'll never forget playing in the Pater-Filius at Midlo and watching your dad putt from 40 yards off of the green. He was the coolest guy around.

My parents also send their condolences. They are out of town and cannot make it to the funeral. I will be there tomorrow morning. God bless.
