Dear Donna,
You are in our thoughts. I found this poem that says it all!
Come With Me
God saw that you were suffering
and a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you
and whispered, "Come with me".
Through tear filled eyes
we watched you suffer
and slowly fade away.
Although we loved you deeply,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands were put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

All our love,

Dear Donna,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Frank will be missed by many. In particular, I will miss our bi-monthly get togethers. An hour with Frank was always an uplifting experience when I was having a down day. I especially appreciated his kind words during my most difficult times. If there is anything I can do during yours, please let me know.

Donna, Frank was such a special person. He made the whole group feel good. Always happy and such a great dancer. You were so special also. You two were such a perfect match. I miss him as I know you do also. He will always be Frank.

Always a Christian gentleman and kind friend. Always with a kind word and a twinkle in his eye. From his days at
St. Ignatius to his final journey, he
will be kindly remembered and praised for his gentle and loving ways.
May he rest in peace.
