I just heard about Frank's passing. He will be missed in so many ways. I enjoyed learning so much from him about our family.

HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST

God saw Frank, Jr. getting tired and a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around him and whispered, "Come with me."

With tearful eyes you watched him and saw him pass away. Although you loved him dearly, you could not make him stay.

A golden heart stopped beating. Hard working hands at rest. God broke your hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

So very sorry about your loss but Heaven's gain. The White Family reunion will never be the same. I just know Frank Jr. and Daddy are having a good time catching up on family history.

Love, thoughts and prayers,

Mildred and Don
