Dear Mr. Frank, Chris and Jason,
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs. Linda, who is a dear friend of mine. We sat at the ballpark many times and hours together laughing and talking and watching our sons play baseball. But I know that Linda knew the Lord and I know that now she is an Angel and she is enjoying her Heavenly Home and she is looking into Jesus Face. My prayer is for Mr. Frank and the sons to know that she loved you all dearly and my prayer is for the Lord to wrap all of you in His loving arms and give you the strength, and understanding and courage to take you through the coming days, weeks, months, hours and minutes. Hold to your sweet memories....Love all of you Barbara
