JHG MARKETING and it’s staff are devestated by the news of the passing of Frank Rudd. All of our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this extremely difficult time. Everyone that knew Frank loved him, as did we. He will be greatly missed.

From FSAE: It is with deep sadness and very heavy hearts that we share news of the passing of our beloved leader Frank Rudd.

Frank recently took a medical leave of absence to concentrate on his health. Unfortunately, his illness progressed quickly and he passed peacefully in his home after an eight month battle with cancer.

There will be a visitation this Thursday, September 14 from 5:00 – 8:00 PM at the Immanuel Baptist Church followed by the funeral service on Friday, September 15 at 10:00 AM.

***PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT***
As Christy Gandy, one of JHG’s Destination Specialists, returns home from the Bahamas 🇧🇸 She wanted everyone to know, they are OPEN for business and there is a something there for everyone! The Bahamas are a chain of over 700 islands and cays, and while Grand Bahama and Abaco were devastated, the other islands are OK!

They, like other destinations that suffer losses, need our support. They are still seeking help for those islands, so if you can donate, please check out the Commonwealth Bank website at combankltd.com to donate to the Bahamas Red Cross Hurricane Dorian Relief. HOWEVER, the BEST way you can show your support is to book your family trip, book your group or plan a quick weekend getaway! Nassau, is very easy to get to. If you have any interest in the Bahamas feel free to reach out to us.

A beautiful country with such proud, warm, and friendly people! Here’s some pics for you to enjoy.
