A better dad could not be had, God Blessed us with the best.
Now as we take our time to grieve, you take your time to rest.
The sands of time pass much too quick and it was your time to part,
But know that as the days progress, you're always in our hearts.
Heaven gained a little Angel, with Mighty Wings the day God called you home.
With heartfelt love and thanks for being our Dad.
Love,
Perry, Tammie & Grand Dogs Marci, Boo & Seagram too

Always smiling, Frank loved life and had fun
