Dear Family.
We do not live in Asheville any more and was greatly grieved that we were not aware of Frank's passing. I am so greatful to our loving God to grant Frank mercy from such a long battle. He and Ruby are joyfully together now.
Someone may have found two pics of a bride in standing plexiglass frames. She is our daughter Veronica, wearing Ruby's pearls. I put those at his hopital bedside. It gave him great pleasure to see that Ruby's pearls were worn on the youngest of our three. Jennifer married first and wore them. Lisa is not married, too busy working at NYU.
I would like to enroll Frank & Ruby in a Sacred Heart "Spiritual Treasure". Please e-mail an address or addresses to who might feel blessed & comforted with the enrollment.
Also Mr Ray at the Funeral home said you will return later to take care of the house. I have MS but I am an experianced wrapper, if you would like another pair of hands. I live in Hendersonville but St Lawrence is still our Church. It would be an honor to help & see you.
Please accept our prayers for comfort to all.
In God's love,
Susan Butcher
