Wasn't sure I wanted to post this or not. But I found myself remembering the tune and the words, so thought I'd pass it along. It was written for a different kind of mourning, but the message is fitting. Frank helped write it, by the way. The recording sounds like it was made during a period when his voice wasn't as good as it was before or since.

I had sent an email to Marnie Gardner Chistiansen that included:

"I wanted you know about her death, because without your suggestion that I ask
her for a date, the connection may not have been made that resulted in 68 years
of love and companionship with a wonderful woman and a family of five children,
fourteen grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren. So I owe you a debt of
gratitude that's beyond measure."

Marnie's daughters, Karen, Peggy and Sally have responded telling me that their mother had died in May of last year. Marnie and I had exchanged a couple emails and I had sent her some pictures. I had not heard back from her. Now I understand why.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHRIS!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY ADELAIDE!

HAPPY 11th ANNIVERSARY TARA AND MIKE!
