I could not have asked for a better man to come into my life and my family. I am so proud to have been loved by Papa. We will miss him so much. I thank God for you being the Father and Grandfather we were blessed with.
Frank was a true angel on Earth and now Heaven has been blessed with his beautiful presence. His love and generosity knew no bounds and he was treasured in our family for all the kindness he showered on all of us. He was, is, and always will be deeply loved and treasured by all of us. We will miss him so much until we are all reunited and once again. Bye brother we love you so much.
Frank was the kindest, most generous man you could ever meet. His spirit lives in all of us who loved and cherished him. He was so very dearly loved and already sorely missed. He was my brother-in-law and was an angel in life so he must be king of angels now.
Knew him for such a short time but loved he and Ann from the start. I know their lives were lived for the Lord and such sweet people of God. He will be missed by all. God’s love and blessings for Ann. We will help her get through this. Love, in Christ Sis Carolyn Prov 3:5-6
