It was a great shock to hear of your passing Frankie. I have enjoyed your friendship both at work and afterwards. Words of wisdom usually placed after others had spouted out. (The old put your brain into gear before you open your mouth). Will miss catching up with you whenever you were caught shopping. Our condolences to Yvonne and family.
