Oh my gosh! I am so terribly sorry! Frank and I talked a few times the last time at the cancer center not that long ago. It just does not seem fair that he went through all the pain and treatments and then dies so young. His family has had it so tough with his sisters also dying from this dreaded disease. My heart goes out to you all. I have written this too much lately, but remember there would not be the pain of his loss if there had not been the joy through out his life. Hugs to all of you! Coach Kimbrook and Kim Tennal
