Uncle Frank was always with a smile for anyone. He would welcome us into his home anytime we'd stop by with dad when we were little. I will always remember the duck voice he did that could always make us laugh. Uncle Frank will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him. We love you Uncle Frank.

The Angel's Flight poem is beautiful and serves as a comforting thought that our family member made a peaceful transition from this life into the presence of the Lord. Our prayers were with him during that time and are now for his beloved family that he left behind.

Words can't begin to say how sorry I am for your loss. May God give you peace in this time of grievence.

The Angel’s Flight

As a gentle breeze blew across the land,
the angels flew searching for a man.
They reached out to grasp a hand.
To our eyes, they remain unseen.
He leaves behind his children's tears,
and Loving memories of many good years.
The angels whisk away all the man’s fears.
For, God has called him home.
The journey home is towards the light
On angel's wings, he has a delightful flight.
The man’s flight is like a swift flash in the night.
Before he knows it, he is at God’s feet.
To those who weep of a life that is gone,
remember that with God's love he is not alone.
For, we shall see him again some day.
However, for now only God knows that day.
