Dear Franklin,
I hope that you are looking down and see the love we all had for you. Two things I didn't say to you but I hope you know. First, when I would come at you with a read and sign or some kind of training....I get this from you....."don't bring that clip board to me.....girl I signed that". Which of course you hadn't. Second, the rabbit. Wow the rabbit! Man oh man! I have repeated your rabbit only drinkin beer more times than I can count. Sorry I won't be there to say goodbye but know you will NEVER be forgotten to me. You will live forever in my heart and my stories of you. May God bless your soul and prepare a place for you to one day reunite with the ones you love.
