  1. PATTY, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. YOUR DAD WILL BE MISSED, WE ALL LOVED HIM. WITH LOVING SYMPATHY, CHRISSY

  2. Hi Patty, I was so sorry to hear about Uncle Frank. He was a very special man. He was Tom’s favorite uncle and they had so many funny jokes going on all the time. Whenever I talk to family they tell me Tom & Uncle Frank are probably having a great time together now. I know you will miss him. I have had a mass arranged for him here. I’ll be thinking of you all and you’re in our prayers here. Pat Rafacz
