I met both of your parents when I served as a greeter at Prince of Peace. You have lost them both in such a short time, and I am so sorry.
Mr. Grogan was a true original…very creative, witty, and entertaining…always with style and class!
I worked with Frank at American Liberty and Wynne Jackson. Frank was a very special person and a dear friend. I remember so many occasions when he made me laugh with his outrageous comments. He will be very much missed
