Dear Cousins, I was indeed saddened by the loss of Frank, who always was one of my heroes. He was so enterprising and could do so many things that it made me proud to be a relative. The old homestead is such a beautiful place only because of the care given to it by the homesteaders. I was very proud to take my wife there to meet Frank and Nellie, last Summer. As I grieve, I am reminded that Frank leaves a marvelous and talented family behind to make life so worthwhile. I pray that you all can continue with your own lives. Love, Cuz Rick
