Ms Sandra, Timmy, and family.
Frank was a fine man, a fine houndsman, and a great friend. We will all surely miss him, but have the memories, and the good times to always cherish!
May God be with all of you at this time!

My dear Sandra & family, I am still in shock, Frank was a such good man and he will certainly be missed. The several recent times I saw you two at the Cancer Center while Mom was having her treatments, I thought Frank looked very well for what he's been going through. We think so much of you & your family, may you-all find the comfort and peace you need while walking close with our Lord.
Love & Many Blessings always,
Carolyn & Donald Jones
