26 Oct 2020Carl, Frankie and Family – Bob and I are so sorry for your loss. We are grateful that you shared your Mother with us on a “special” Sunday at Church. Your Mother truly had a gift with her music. Thank You for giving us this little piece of your Mama. Please know even though we are unable to be at the funeral on Saturday we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Hope Lindsay and Justin are doing ok. You and Frankie were blessed with two wonderful children. Carl…please take some time off to rest and reflect what really matters in your life. I have found “stuff” is no longer important to me, but my family is my foundation and they give me grace. Hope to see you and Frankie soon. With our love and continued prayers, Bob and Judy
