To my big brother Frank and family,
There are many times that words cannot adequately express what is in our hearts. This is one of those times. I have had occasions in my life where I did something or failed to do something that I later on wished I had done differently. But I cannot undo my past mistakes. Life is very short and we must make the most of our relationships with loved ones before it is too late. All I can do as I move forward in life is to look at what is truly most precious, and embrace that.
I Love you Frank, and I am here for you for what ever you may need. I will be keeping in touch with you, and our prayers are with you, Charlotte, and your family in this time of loss.
God Bless you,
your brother, Alex

Charlotte Light is another name from our past who has gone to a better place. I well remember the Light family, growing up in the North End of Toledo. We all attended Chase School back in those days and became responsible adults, each moving in their own direction. Please accept my condolences.
