	Richard, David and Paul,  I was searching for the information on Linda Frazier and saw your fathers name there too.  I am not sure if you will remember me or not as it has been over 30 years ago that we all attended Mass. Presb. church together. But I want you to know that I remember your mother and father. They will forever be a part of my childhood memories and Your mother did the flowers for my wedding.  They were so beautiful. She always had the green thumb. I just wanted to say how very sorry I am to hear about their passing. May you find comfort and strength that only God can give at this time. Sincerely, Christy
