Teresa, I'm so sorry to read of your father's death, but I know you're grateful for his long life and your parents' many years of marriage. I hope you and your boys (now men!) are doing well. Mary

I am sad I took so long to try and re-connect with Frank, who first contacted me in 1998 as distant cousins and wanted to get his story out on our side of the family. I wish I had sooner, as DNA would have self-validated him. He provided me valuable info on our family history that helped in my research to expand our tree and I hope to honor him in carrying it on. Rest well Cousin!?
