Frankie, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother.
If there's anything I can do for your or your family, please let me know. We'll be sure to mention her passing and have a moment of silence for her at Belle Clair tomorrow night.

Dear Mike,
Thank you for doing a moment of silence in her honor. She truly was his biggest fan. She has been down for 6 weeks and still insisted he go racing. Every Sat and Sun morning no matter how weak she was, the first words out of her mouth were " How did you do last night" if he didn't do well she was frowning. The first feature he won at Belleville was so funny because we got to Cape to the hospital to visit her and her nurse actually went to the races to watch a friend from Summerfieldm that week. When he overheard them talking about racing the nurse said he had been there to watch that night. He couldn't believe that was Frankie he had just seen win. He made certain he gave her excellent care from then on out. You never know when a racing friend is going to have your back. We will be racing together and married 25 years soon and some of our most prized friendships have come from the races. Thank you all for everything. Your prayers, cards and phone calls mean so much to us all. Ronna
