    We were so honored to get to know Pam & Frank as our neighbors and friends when we moved to Florida. We had an instant connection that made them feel more like family members. We will miss Frank's sense of humor, kindness, and all the great stories he would tell from his PA days. (And he also had great taste in music.) 🙂 We are praying that God will send His comfort and peace for Pam, Frankie, Autumn & family during this time. We will continue to keep Frank's memory alive in our hearts. Much Love, Woody and Julia Woodard
