Shedding a Tear for a Friend
I am saddened this week by the death of my good friend, Frank Hall. Frank was my son’s father-in-law, and one of the most generous people I’ve ever met.
My favorite memory of Frank is from my son’s wedding. When they were dating, Bob and Pam had an on-again, off-again, on-again romance. My husband, Carl, and I dearly loved Pam and worried that Bob would let her slip through his fingers. We became fast friends with her parents, Judy and Frank Hall, who felt the same way about our son as we did about their daughter.
When the wedding finally happened, the two dads couldn’t contain their enthusiasm. As soon as the minister pronounced Bob and Pam husband and wife, Carl and Frank leaped to their feet and high-fived each other across the center aisle. Of course, the congregation, including the bride and groom, howled with laughter.
Pam and Bob will celebrate their 23rd anniversary on Feb. 28.
