So sorry to hear about Frank Holtgrefe. His father Frank Sr was my mother's cousin. Helen Holtgrefe Veeneman. We grew up together and Frank and his father were great men We all traveled to St. Louis every year where Frank and Helen were born and raised. The Holtgrefe's were a big loving family. Wish I knew sooner, prayers be with Frank Jr and his family. Carol Veeneman Faulconer

Pops

Pops was the best! He always welcomed me to his home with a hug and a kiss! We both loved our movies, especially Christmas movies! I would watch him smile and laugh and we would agree on how good they made us feel!! Pops, at sometime, decided my name was Buelah! He would call me that and as Mama would protest and tell him not to, he would say “it’s a complement “ I think he did it to get her riled up! He was so funny and had the best humor! He always always told me “let not your heart be troubled” I miss you already!
