Frankie And Mandy
To Paul and all of Mary's Family we send our sympathy and prayers. We had such a special bond with Paul and Mary and had it not been for them we would never have joined the National Campers and Hikers Assoc. and enjoyed so many yrs. of camping with them.
I will never forget our first meeting of Paul and Mary when we were camping and Mandy was only 5 months old. We just couldnt get her settled in and Mary came along and introduced herself and said here let Grandma Brown have her. She took Mandy and went to sit by the campfire,next thing you know Mandy was quiet as a mouse. Guess it was that Grandma special touch. From that day on they were Grandma and Grandpa Brown. They did share many of Mandys special camping moments that none of her g.parents were ever able to share and that meant a lot to both of us.
We will miss her dearly and she was so very special to both of us,even though we hadnt seen her or Paul for a while they are still always in our thoughts.
Sorry we are not able to attend the services on Saturday we would love to be there,but Mandy is a coach for Special Olympics and they are holding their State Games this weekend in Columbus. She has three athletes she has to chaperone all weekend. I am sure Mary would understand and she will certainly be in our thoughts and prayers. I am sure she had many difficult days and now is at rest.
Our Love goes to all of you, especially Paul as I am sure this is a very difficult time for you. The two of you shared many many happy yrs. together.
Our Love and Prayers, Frankie and Mandy
