To the family of Franklin Blake, Jan and Wayne Jaffeux prayers are with each of you. We have many memories of Frank and Francis coming to our church playing music and singing. Now Frank can continue playing and singing with the Lord Jesus Christ for forever. He will be missed in everyway but we know he is in the place he wanted to be with His Lord and Savior.
