Frank,shone a little light into our life when he decided to accept our offer of a garden for him.I know he probably thought it was I who did the favor,but no. It was Frank who did me the favor,teaching Lynn his gardening skills and me how to spread the manure! This along with his history stories will always be in my mind. the struggle has ended Frank rest in peace and love to lovely Lorna. Rick
