Frank,

I remember just Tuesday night of what you were telling me about what God was doing for your life and how you had been in the wilderness, but now, you had come out.

I remember how we hugged and I praised and thank God for what I was hearing you say. I know people who were driving by must have thought I was in church because of how I was praising God for the words (sermon) you had just let my ears hear. (God is good). You told me that there were two things in life that people had; it was either an understanding or a misunderstanding. You said that people who had an understanding knew God because no matter what problem came up, they always found a way to work it out, and you also said people who had a misunderstanding could not get through the problem because they did not know God. You told me that you were trying to tell the young men about it, but they wouldn't listen. I don't feel that the message that God gave you fell on all deaf ears, somebody listened.

I am so glad that you knew God and that is all that matters. I will miss you brother, but I will not forget the years I had with you and how you made a difference in my life.

From here, I will press forward and keep holding on to God's hand, no matter what. To all our family, friends, and others, take heed to Frank's last words (sermon) of understanding and misunderstanding, they are REAL. Absent from the body, but present with the Lord.

You will be greatly missed!!! Thank you for always showing up at the right time for that much needed ride to work. You were a great customer and could have possibly become a great friend had we the chance. I pray that God will give your family the strength to move forward. God has another angel to watch over and guide us. Vias con Dias...

My brother-in-law,

I remember years ago, when the kids were little and we were down for a visit. You had been hunting, and you pulled your pick up truck down into the yard behind the house to show everyone the deer you got.

Your neice and nephew, my little up-north city kids, had never seen a deer up-close before, and when little Sarah came out to look at it and touch it you told her that it was Bambi and she got so mad at you, frowned up and crossed her little arms, and we all laughed so.

I am writing here to say that we love you all, family, we know this is so very hard, we wish we could be there for you, and we pray for God to give you the strength to make it through.

Love, Terry and Sarah
