Heather and I are very sorry to hear of Frank's passing. I have fond memories of Frank as a radiologist and partner at LXA. He will be missed.
Mary Helen, Peter and family Our heartfelt sympathies go to you and your family on the passing of your father. Our prayers are with you.
Dear Joan, Mary Helen, Francie, Jim and Don we are so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. Please know that we are thinking of you with love and affection and that our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Love Dino, Carol Ann and Family.
I am so sorry for your loss. May "the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort and soothe your heart. His promises, found in the Holy Scriptures, can offer much hope. It assures us at John 5:28,29 that our loved ones will be remembered and brought back to life in the resurrection. Please allow God's Word to strengthen you and help you to endure this most difficult time.
Re Frank LOinsdell Dear Joan & Family Our family respected him and we were very fond of him Our condolences Marilyn Collyer
Sorry to read about your father's death Mary Helen Marilyn
I am not 100% positive, but my mother (Freda Barnes, who passed away Oct 23, 2008), mentioned "Joan Linsdell" frequently, I think, through the Bridge Club, so I just wanted to say, on her behalf, that thoughts are with you at this difficult time, emotionally...I wish you ' fond memories. 'Closure'..... it's another "stage" of life, as my father, Les Barnes" would say to his children all our lives, until he passed, in 1988, at the young age of 63. Memories....cherish them!
Thinking of you and sending our love at this difficult time. Frank Linsdell was a lovely, kind man who will be greatly missed.
M.H.: It was with great sadness that I read of your father's passing last week. I was three days behind in reading the paper and was literally reading his obituary at 1:30 on Friday as the funeral was underway. Having read it sooner I would have been there in person to extend my condolences. As you know, I know how difficult it is to lose a parent, at any age - yours or theirs. Please know that I am thinking of you and sending a hug your way. You have wonderful memories of your Dad and had a great relationship with him. Keep these things close to you. Please extend my sympathies to the rest of your family. Carol
