Richard, Frank, and the BROADHURST FAMILY.

My Deepest Sympathy to the BROADHURST Family on your loss of Your Beloved Mom. Your Mom had a way of making everyone seem as if they were old friends. Your Mom's most important legacy is all the BROADHURST CHILDREN. She loved you individually but all the same. I'm sure at this moment She is with God and Frank Sr. looking down upon you.

With Our Love

The Franke's

Larry, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. It has been many years since we have communicated, and perhaps a bit of heavenly irony that I learned of your loss. Please extend my deepest sympathies to Patty, the girls and the rest of your family.
