"I was saddened by the news that Frank had passed away when I got in to work today. I have been working at Crestridge since last June and had the opportunity to get reaquanted with Frank and Kathy. I say reaquanted because Frank and my dad Larry Temple were friends in our younger days. It was such a pleasure for me to be a part of the Care Team for Frank. We often reminisced about the times he and my dad hung out together and of course through our dads is how Kathy and I knew each other growing up. I am so sorry for your loss. And Kathy you are very much on my mind and in my heart. It is very hard to lose the people we love. You can be sure there will not be a day that I don't think of you and your dad."
