"Frank, Cindy, Kelly, Becky: Just heard the obit and can\'t believe it. So sorry for all your losses. I know you\'ve all been thru so much. If any comfort, I think of Sara every day and miss her; we had such good times together. Sorry also i did not know of brother, Frankie. That too is so hard for me to comprehend.
