I miss and love you so much. I know its selfish but I wish you were here. I am so grateful for the 9 years that I had with you. The thought that I wouldnt be able to grow up with you by my side never crossed my mind.. It hurts so much more than I ever could have imagined. 8 years have passed and the pain is still here, I hope and pray you have found peace. I love you bubby

I never really knew kaylum that well but from what I knew he was an amazing little boy.. I think everyone agrees that he was way to young to die and I swear if any one loved him it was his family. I pray for him every day and miss him. No body deserves to die that young and I pray that he will come back but it don't work and I'm sorry for the loss of this angel and everyone misses him

February 5, 2012

Such a short time we had together. So many plans and activities we never got to do. It has been a rough year without you here with us. We are trying to find our way through the woods without a compass. You will never be forgotten. You are with us in everything that we do and see. I look at my humidor and think about how you used to look at the different cigars. I look at Golf clubs and think how we never got to use your clubs. I look at the hand held GPS and think back to us going Geo Caching. You were a unique young man and I wish we had more time together. I love you and miss you. Love, Dad

Kaylum was one of my bestfriends. We fought ALOT about stupid things but always understood each other. It broke me to hear he died when he did. It broke me that i never got the chance to say i was sorry for everything that happened between us. I never got to tell him i loved him like my brother.

Kaylum, You will ALWAYS be my saxophone buddy and dont worry we can share student conducter and u can play the top of the music peice for duets. I still remember when u got me in trouble with Mr.Johnson cause we were very chatty that day and he had to move us on the opposite sides of the room but that didnt stop us now did it. I remember opening your phone and an alien being your background and me saying it was crazy while u laughed at me. I hope heaven is as great as everyone says it is because u deserve the best. Play the sax in heaven for me :) i love you like a brother.

Kaylum,
I never met you, but I know in my heart how wonderful you were. Your smile, all the things you did for others before thinking of yourself, filled with so much love. I know you are an Angel God called upon. Looking from Heaven above, you have lit the sky with the brightest star, so when your family looks up, they know you are watching over them. I know one day I will meet you. When I do, I know my heart will be filled with so much joy. You are always remembered by so many.

Shari Collins

Dear Shannel, I can't take away your pain. I'm so sorry you have suffered so much pain. Even though we haven't been seeing each other please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you don't mind that Kaylum's Guest book will remain open another year. I have Joshua's Guest book open forever. It brings me comfort to go back to his book and write him letters. I hope by keeping Kaylum's book open it may bring you a small measure of comfort.. In Christ Love always, Shari

Kaylum,
I miss and love you so much! I wish that you were still here everyday. You were by far the funniest, nicest, most amazing person I have ever met! You could always make everyone laugh and you always had a huge smile on your face. We have had some really awesome times in 4th and 7th period in 7th grade and I will never forget them! I hope your having a blast in heaven, Kaylum and one day I will see you again. <3

Ease her heart and let her know you are in a beautiful place and you will see us all again one day when our time is called home to Heaven. We love you, buddy!

R.I.P Kaylum Dean-Anthony Frank. I love and miss you like crazy, I can't even imagine how your family feels. There isn't a day that goes by without me thinking of you and having a flashback of us at school laughing at the stupidest things. I wish I could have taken your place, although don't alot of people. You were one of the best people i have ever met. You loved life and were so creative why was it you that had to be taken from us and so so soon. We hardly spoke to eachother after you left but I loved having you around and you were a really good saxaphone player. I love and miss you like crazy. I'll be with you one day. <3

R.I.P. Kaylum dean Anthony Frank... I will miss you and see you another day as will everyone else you know.. when we were dating we dated 2 years and they were the best years of my life. We broke up because you moved to florida and we went by the saying LONG DISTANCE REALATIONSHIPS WILL KILL YOU and i didnt want that... you a smart, handsome, and loving person. You loved your life and so did everyone else...

To all of Kaylum's family,
I am so sorry about your loss. Kaylum was a very close friend of mine. I used to meet up with him every morning before school. We just talked and joked around every day. He made every morning fun and he was a great friend. I could always count on him no matter what. I missed him when he moved, but always thought we would someday meet again, now I guess I will have to wait to see him in heaven. I look forward to seeing him when I walk past those pearly gates. All of you will be in my prayers.

I still cannot believe this! I will keep all that knew Kaylum in my prayers... He was wonderful little boy! xoxo
With Love, Danielle & Family

Kaylum I miss you soooo much!! I never thought that the friday before you died would be the last time i saw you. Now I look at the past and I feel like you never got to know how many people loved you. I miss your happy face walking JEB Stuart. That big smile took up most of the hallway. But now its so different with you. You died so young and you never got to your full potential on Earth. Your Death is just devastating to me still. I saw you on your funeral for the last time and all i could do was look at your lifeless body and wonder what this world just lost.. We lost a person that was so wonderful and great and loved his life. So now we ask why did you lose your life... We might never know the answer to this question but everyone knows that Kaylum loved his life so much that he never deserved this. The 6 months of knowing him was just great. And know looking at his pics and thinking of all the great memories tells me that Kaylum deserved more life and more time with everyone he knew... And now in the hallways there isnt a day that goes by without hearing his name. I just want you to know Kaylum that you will never be forgotten and that i love and miss you!!!! Rest in Peace, Kaylum

Adela

February 23, 2011

I miss you sooooooo much Kaylum. I never thought I would lose you. The Friday before you died I remember seein you...So happy always loving life. I talked to you and everything but i didnt want that to be the last of it. I go to skool and all i can hear is your name. I still cant believe you are actually gone. The day at your funeral still didnt seem like you were gone. I saw you layin there lifeless and thats when i finally realized what the world has lost... We lost a person, a really great person that loved life and everyone in it. People are trying to get over you but its just impossible to pass a day wthout thinking of you. Its sad to see you die such a harsh way. The thing that gets to me is that, one day in science you were asked if you wanted to live forever or whenever you had to die you would die... You choose live forever... And I am devasted that you didnt get your wish. Im devasted that you never got live to your full potential. You lived short life but your death taught everyone something... That was to appericate everything in your life espically the great things cauz u never kno when they will leave forever! Kaylum I will always love you and miss you! Rest in Peace Kaylum!

To the Frank family
I am so very sorry for your dear and precious loss of Kaylum. There are NO words that can ease your pain. I pray that God will give you the peace that surpasses all understanding in this hour for you. I understand the loss of a child having been through it myself. I lost my son Kristopher in the Ed White car accident back in June 5. He was only 15. I am here if you ever need someone to talk to. I will hold you close in my prayers and KNOW you are not doing this alone. God is with you every step of the way, Trust in him now in this tragic time.

Kaylum was such a sweet and kind boy. Thinking back to when I had him in class two years ago, I cannot remember a time when he wasn't smiling. Everyone at Kitty Hawk who knew Kaylum was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Shawn Johnson

February 10, 2011

I'm truly sorry for your loss, I only hope that time will help you heal, but not forget the beloved memory of your son Kaylum. I work with Kaylum's father, Tommy, my family and I have him and his family in our prayers. Take care, God Bless, and take comfort in knowing that he was loved and well liked by so many. He will be truly missed.

Mariah Aviles

February 10, 2011

I only knew kaylum for a couple of months but I was lucky. I was lucky to have a friend that no matter what he would always wear that big smile of his every time he walked in to school.nothing brought him down, that was only one of all his great qualities he had. Kaylum was a great soul and he should have lived forever but I guess he was so great god had other plans for him.I try not to cry when I hear his name and think about his funny jokes and what he did because he wouldn't want us to be sad,instead he would want us to celebrate his life and all the great things all of us did with him the moments we laughed and shared with him...the moments that counted the most when he was there by our side.My prayers and my thoughts are with his family...Kaylum may be gone but he will not be forgotten.... R.I.P. Kaylum Frank.

Dear Shannel and family,
We are sending our deepest sympathy to your entire family. Kaylum befriended our granddaughter Christina during a dark time in her young life. From their first meeting to their goodbye last year, she looked forward to getting to school early to "hang out" with Kaylum. Often this year she would wonder aloud about how he was doing and hoped that he had new good friends in Jacksonville. His true caring for others and accepting disposition were two qualities that made him stand out from the rest in the swirling world of "middle school", and adolescence. She loved him as only kids do, quickly, loyaly and forever. Thank you for bringing up and loving such an amazing young man. The world is a darker place without him but, heaven has gained a loving and giving soul. May God bless you all and keep you in the shelter of His mighty hand.

February 10, 2011

you will never be forgotten.You were friends with everyone in huber and always will be.RIP kaylum

Dear Kaylum's family,
I was so saddened to hear of your son's accident. One of my co-workers lives across the street from you. He sent me the news article. You all are heavy on my heart. I lost my son, Matthew on 10/12/95 in a car accident on Kinsley ave. He was 9 years old. I can only imagine the pain you are experiencing. If you ever need someone to listen or cry with or a hug, please let me know.
Even though the journey's long and i know the road is hard, God's the one who's gone before us, he will help you carry on. and after all that i've been thru, now i realize the truth, that i must go thru the valley to stand upon the mountain of God.
His comfort and peace be with you in this difficult time.

I only met Kaylum recently but I have known his mother and his aunts Kelly and Kari since I was about his age. I am sorry for their loss and I know Kaylum will be missed.

I am truly so sorry for your loss. Kaylum seemed like such a happy, special and loving boy and has touched the hearts of many. I cannot even pretend to know what you are going through but I'm sure losing a child is a pain; so high, you can't get over it. So low, you can't get under it. So wide you can't get around it. You must go through that door. Keep the faith my friend, I know you two will meet again and until then, he will forever be smiling down and watching over all of you. My deepest condolences are with you and your family at this difficult time. God Bless....

I have no words that will make this any easier or to take away the pain of your loss, but I am truly sorry for the loss of your wonderful son. I didn't know Kaylum, but my daughter went to school with him and spoke very highly of Kaylum. As a mother of 5, I couldn't imagine the pain you are in, but Kaylum is sitting on Gods lap watching over you and his family still as he did on earth. My condolences go out to you and your family in this time. YOu will be with him and reunited again oneday. Love, The Kroeger and Barnhill family.

Even though I didn't know you or your Family. It hurts to see a son taken away from his family. I cannot imagine the pain your mother is going through. I strongly believe everything happens for a reason, and God clearly needed one extra special angel in Heaven. You are now resting in Peace Kaylum, watch over your family. You have touched many.

Kaylum Dean Anthony Frank will be missed by many. I, for one, thought of him as a great friend and a very nice person. It is a tragedy for any family to lose someone as great as him. This is my final farewell and hope to his family. RIP
