    May the family find comfort in knowing that others are praying for Them during this time. Knowing that God will continue to be with Them. Frank was the same whenever I saw Him. He knew who I was long after he left the fellowship I still a member of. I knew His Father.

    I met Frank about 6 months ago and he made a lasting impression. I recenty moved in with my ailing Mother and he was like a son to my Mom and a brother to me. When he saw something that needed to be repaired he just took care of it, we didn’t have to ask. He cut our grass and was a diligent worker always willing to help. I look forward to seeing him again in Paradise. Debra, I will keep you in my prayers and I hope this messages brings you some comfort. With warm Christian love, Frances and Joyce.
