Sad to hear of Mary's passing. I used to go to TOPS with her years ago. Not easy to lose your mother. My mother died very suddenly on March 5, 2012. She was only 73. It was a shock and I miss her all the time. I will be thinking of your family in the days to come. If you believe in God and Heaven, then Frank and Mary are together again.
We are sorry for your loss. Prayers for your family.
