My deepest sympathy to all of Father Bill's Family. I have such fond, and beautiful memories, of all of you.. Thank you for sharing yourselves with me. Although we did not see each other, for a long time, I have prayed daily for you. I always asked Fr. Bill for updates. My love and prayers are with you, always.
My head is whirling, with so many memories, and thoughts of you, Father Bill. Where to begin? I pray to The Holy Spirit, to guide me, as I write. How I love you! My heart is totally breaking, but I am so glad you are not suffering any longer. May you have eternal peace, and restored health, In Christ.
I have known you for close to 30 years. You have been my Confessor, my Blessed Friend, my Good Shepherd. I truly believe in many ways, that God sent you to me, as my living intercessor... To save me, to guide me, to teach me,to love me, and to believe in me, at times, when I needed it most. You have cried with me, laughed with me, shared with me, ate with me and more. To be honest your "say it like it is" approach, hit a nerve a few times, but I know it was all said because you love me.
Most of all,I thank you for the gift of Christ, within you. Thank you for Eucharist and thank you, for sharing our Catholic faith,together.
You always cared about others, than you cared about yourself. How well I know this! times.You cared about God's Children, at all times. Although, I knew you were tired and ill, you were still there for me, even when I knew you should rest. I will miss our chats. Don't be too mad, that our "visit in the making didn't happen". God needed you.
Please tell your Mom, Fr. Mac, Wayne, Sadie, My Little Angel,and all our friends in Heaven, that I love I will see you all, someday.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for loving me, and all of my family.
I feel you close to me. I know you are watching over all! Peace of heaven, to you! I am sure, it is even more awesome, now that you are there!
I will forever love. and miss you.

Dear Father Frankhauser,

Thank-you for all that you've done for so many people. We have such warm, fond memories of you. I remember those wonderful days from the late 60's when you were at Good Shepherd Parish (Henrietta, NY). I will also never forget the kindness you showed to me and my friends when you took us on a field trip to New York City. Memories of a lifetime! We know that you're with Our Lord now, so put in a good word for us. ;)
