I well recall so well those years when cousin Franklin (as then known) stayed with us for a few years at our Langdon farm. My mother Alice (nee Christensen) Warrack was helpful to sister Doris and fond of Franklin. Looking back, I treasure that Franklin had been a part of our family. I hope there will be an opportunity to say goodbye, on behalf of my parents and myself.
Dear Diana, I was so sorry to hear of Frank's passing from Ella and Tom. I mainly remember Frank when he was a teenager and young adult. It brings a smile to my face because he was always teasing and joking. He was a good human being. May you be surrounded by love and be comforted as you adjust to his loss. Margaret McLeod (Ella's sister)
Diana, we are so sorry about your loss. Our thoughts go out to you and take care through this difficult time.
Diana, I am saddened to learn of Frank's recent death. The ranks are getting thinner. Although we have not kept in touch as closely as we used to, I have very good and often humorous memories of Frank and Plum going back thirty years. They will be cherished. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you come to grips with your loss. Bob Chisholm
Diana, I was so sorry to hear about Frank. Having gone through Frances' death last June I know what a difficult time this is for you. His many kindnesses to so many people will keep him our memories for a long time. If there is anything I might be able to do please call. Pat
We never got a lot of time to play together as Kids, but was always fun when we did !~ Franklyn was one of the Five Cousins of 1945 !~ God Bless !~
I have not known you well though through my life I had heard many stories as my dad, though rarely, would share with us his younger days. Your I know that I will forever hold you in my memories. Sincerly Byron Groves Jr.
