Frank’s sense of humor and sweet smile will be missed. God Bless you June and all your family. My prayers are with you knowing that Eternal Life is ours through Jesus Christ our Lord.
My sympathy goes out to you June. I really like you both. My thoughts and prayers are with you. We don’t know each other except for Buck Lake. But that doesn’t change my feelings about you both. I will always remember Frank’s sense of humor. He was so very pleasant all the time.
YOU ARE WITH US IN OUR PRAYERS, AS YOU REMEMBER YOUR BELOVED PARTNER, FRANK. MAY GOD BLESS THE MEMORIES AND HELP YOU TO REALIZE THAT THE LOVE YOU GAVE EACH OTHER WILL NEVER DIE. PEACE TO YOU AND THE FAMILY.
