I attended Clinton High School with Frank and also went to Hinds Community College and USM. Our paths would cross from time to time during our college years. It's hard to believe this has happened. Every time I saw Frank around Clinton he was smiling and had a friendly word to say. I offer my sympathy to Frank's family and prayers for God's peace during this most difficult time.

Just last week I told someone the story of Frank explaining to his daughter that I was a yankee, and when I hailed them with a have a good night, guys! it wasn't because I thought she was a boy.
Prayers for Lisa and the kids. May eternal light shine upon him.

Lisa, there are no words that will comfort you and your family at this time. But know I am praying for you. Gods ways are not our ways. There is a time appointed to live and a time appointed to die. Took me a long time after Marks death to comprehend the depths of this meaning GOD said. I pray GOD will encircle you and your family in a bubble holding you in his hands, comforting and giving you his peace. Know you can call me, come over, or I will come to you especially if you need to talk to one who's been down a similar path. In my case friends drifted away and I just needed a friend. Know I understand this so please call or come over anytime you need me. Know that I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND. Sisters in Christ Always Debbie.
