To Roger, Gerry and the Dumont Family
I would like to offer my deepest sympathy on the loss of Frank.
While speaking with Roger Lamothe the other day I was saddened to learn of Frank's passing away but happy to know he is with God in Heaven.
I believe that Frank is with God because in the Seventh Beatitude of Matthew 5:9 it is said 'Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God'
Today, Frankie is again sitting at a card table with other peacemakers we both worked with especially Jimmy Williams, Ray Costello,Frank Harvey, Steve Mason and Tiny Mulligan ...all waiting for roll call to start and their tour on the streets of Heaven to begin. I know that one day we will again see all of our brother officers.
So rest in peace Frank, God has taken away your pain and given you your special reward so richly deserved

We are all getting to a place in our lives we could not see when we were all working, laughing and playing together. We are being called home to be with our Father. Frank was a good friend, mentor and sensai. I know he fought the fight because that was who he was. When I heard he passed on I was initially sad but then I thought of some of the great times he was responsible for and smiled. He was a great man and a good friend. He's at peace now and we all know he would want all of us to remember him and smile. Rest in Peace, Brother.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
