Frank there are so many wonderful moments in life that you gave us…….All of us….I will never forget you my dearest brother in-law you are responsible for turning so many of us young guys into the men we are today…you taught us to open doors for people, to help somebody even if you weren’t asked to do so…you taught us that a little patience will pay off in life….you were funny you cared for so many and you raised all of us kids the best way you thought possible…..may you rest forever finally at peace in the loving arms of ” The great spirit in the sky.”….(Jesus Christ)……we will never stop loving you ….not ever ….I cannot begin to imagine the pain and heart ache that Kathy, Shasta, Miranda, April and T.J. are feeling right now my heart has broken a little more for their loss of such a great father and husband so many great things about his life that we all will hold onto forever….Kathy and Frank was a true love story and Love never dies…..1 Corinthians 13:1-3 says this about love:…If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I posses to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing…..1Corinthians 13:13 says this about love:…..And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love…..God Bless in Jesus name Amen.

I met Frank and Kathy as a young teenager in my family’s restaurant where I worked. I always had a special fondness for their family. Reminded me of my own family. You could just tell how much they truly love one another. I am happy to have met them for they helped me grow into the strong woman I am today. Frank always had a smile for everyone and a teasing way about him that you couldn’t help but love. I have many happy memories. You will be terribly missed my friend. I am so sorry for your loss. He was taken from you too soon.
