I added this poem on December 26, 2011 and it did not post to the album. I thought it was so beautil I have posted again:

Christmas In Heaven!

I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below,
With tiny lights like Heaven's stars
Reflectibng in the snow.

The sight is so spectacular
please wipe away that tear
for I am spending CHRISTMAS
WITH JESUS CHRIST this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
but the sound of music can't compare
with the CHRISTMAS CHOIR up here.

I have no words to tell you
of the JOY their voices bring
for it is beyond description
to HEAR THE ANGELS SING.

I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart
for I am spending CHRISTMAS
WITH JESUS CHRIST this year.

I can't tell you of the splendor
or the peace here in this place
Can you just imagine CHRISTMAS
WITH OUR SAVIOR face to face?

I'll ask him to lift your spirit
as I tell him of your love
so then pray for one another
as you lift your eyes above.

Please let your hearts be joyful
and let your spirit sing
for I am spending Christmas in heaven
with Jesus Christ this year.

Dearest Denise, Frankie and Heather,

I have just learned of your immense lost. My heart goes out to each of you and you will all be in my prayers. Your messages were so touching. God bless your strong faith. Thank God for the blessing you have in your grandson, he will always be a part of his father you will have him to shower with your love. I did not know Frank as a man, but I will always remember him when Larry and I would come down to the island, barely out of diapers, perhaps 2 or 3 yrs old, climbing all over Frankie's boat as it bounced across the sound fully trusting he woud be safe in his fathers care.. He always had a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face, full of mischief and love. Your faith is pwerful and may it sustain you all in the coming days.
Love to all of you. Diane

Frank had the heart the size of Texas and wasn't ashamed to tell his friends he loved them or say Thank You Jesus, Thank You Lord although a lot of people didn't see that side of him You did and that is all that matters. No one is perfect and sure he had his faults but I know the good qualities where from you and many. I know we don't understand all of this but when we get to heaven we will see things through your eyes, give us Your eyes, Your heart and have us to do Your will Lord. Wake up the sleepy people and bring them to You, Lord. Heal this island and our hurts like only You can. Lord I ask that you pour out your Blessings upon lil Frank God and protect him, send angels around him and make him Yours at an early age to do good works prepared for him before the creation of time. You make all things beautiful in your time Lord for your time is perfect. I lay all of this at the foot of the cross in the Precious Name of Jesus Thanking You in advance for awensered prayers knowing you can do all things. You are close to the brokenhearted. We feel comfort through peoples prayers. Bring us closer to You Father God, we love you and Thank You for all the great things you have done and will continue to do in our lives in the Name above all Names Jesus Christ <3

God!
I know you know what's in my heart and that's all that matters. I know Frankie sees things the way You do now and he knows everythings going to be alright. I know Franks at peace now and that brings his father and I peace knowing that this is not our home and we wouldn't want it to be because of all the crazyness in it and all the people hurting one another. We thank You God everyday for the almost 24 years you entrusted him to us for. We where such a close knit family, our children didn't see the inside of a day care center they either where on one of our boats or at their grandparents home. Most people never have a full life time with their children with as much time as we had with ours. Frankie just beat us home that's all. Why can't the world see that? Why do they think we should be falling apart and quit living for You! Why do they want to tell us how to greive our son when we know that to be absent from the body is to be present with You, how could it be any better? I'm not saying this is easy because it's not but we have peace knowing our son who we loved so much and he knew it (we didn't have to tell him, actions spoke louder than words) and we knew how much he loved all of us, his siblings, grandpranets, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, Elise (the only true love of his life) his son (the greatest gift you ever gave him this side of heaven) and all his friends. You made him the man he is, kind and loving but tough enough to do a mans job

Betty and I remember Frankie (Little Frankieto us) from the time we rented the trailer beside you. I think he would have been eight years old and we use to watch he and Heather get on the school bus and every now and then swing their book bag at each other.

We have a wonderful Pastor and we wanted you to know that Frankie as well as the Family were prayed for in the Bible Class Tuesday night.

Heaven will be brighter with "Little Frankie" being there.

Frank was a kind gentle man. He would give you the shirt off his back and money. He often gave complete strangers children his last dollars till payday for a candy bar up at Circle K. He loved Elise and his son with all his heart. He wasn't afaid or ashamed to say Thank You Lord <3 He always wanted peace, his family taken care of and his Dad was his hero this side of heaven. Heather was his sister who protected him his whole life and visa versa. Michael if he could have been a brother you would have been it, he loved you like a brother. He loved all his friends and wasn't afraid to say it either. He was extremely proud of his nieces and nephews and loved them all. He was a fisherman, a God given talent. He wouldn't want us to be sad but remember his silly ways, his big heart and his respectful ways. Elise was the love of his life and he was boastful in his son and very protective of all he loved. He will be greatly missed but his Dad and I are at peace, the peace that only comes from knowing the Lord and we Thank God He entrusted Frank to us for what time. God makes all things beautiful in His Time. I miss love you son but you knew that and I will see you one day!

I guess I should be the first to comment, I'm his Mom. I pray this gives people comfort for I truly feel at peace with a loving God Who gave me such a great young man he turned into be. He was all boy, when he was young he never could sit still and he was so silly doing what little boys do. Heather and Frankie where so close in age people often mistaken them for twins and the two of them shared a special bond and Heather was his sister that always was there for him no matter what (knowing some of the stories they have confessed too I should be bold :shock:) Angie was his sister he would look up to and showed him so much growing up but it was your beautiful children he loved so much and your family and Chalres gave him the most pride (remind me to tell you how he felt when Charles and him mullet fished together<3 and he threw Charles overboard :shock:) Melissa he said was his "hottie" sister and making him an uncle at age4-5 years old really puffed his ego :) Alicia, Frank was always so proud of the great mother you are, how beautiful Chelsea is and loved you dearly. To his father and I all of our children where our life and Frank was our only son. I remember when I brought the ultra sound picture home to your Dad (he was fishing, providing for his family) and I when I rushed home he was hanging net outside and I said look Frank that's your son..He said Denise your crazy I will believe it when I see it :) Ater Frank was born (he was in the delivery room only because some angel nurse really encouraged him hard) and he took so long to get his "space suite" on we thought he was stalling :) He made it and turned a ash grey and I was consoling him because I thought he would faint :) He rushed home to tell his parents and called my parents and told them before I ever got out of the delievery room and into my own room..His first born son. You where always there for your Dad, when he had his heart surgery it was Christmas vacation and you and John Patrick took out the "Miss Heather" and pulled his stone crab traps and you and Heather and Tony went mullet fishing and gave us all of the money while I took care of your Dad. You helped JP while he was going through his cancer treatment and Outback too. You fished before you could walk, if you wheren't on the boat fishin with your Dad or being my seahorse boy you had a rod and reel in the back yard fishing 24/7 if possible. You grew up at the fish house and I knew if you went fishin someone ate, heck the neighbors would pay you to show them how to cast net but no one did it like you did son they could try but you have to have that gift in your blood. Michael James if Bub could have had a brother you would have been it and know that having you in our lives has brought all of us great joy (Aunt Denise a little more crazy than normal you and Bub but I loved you both like my own son Mike) and I wouldn't change a thing. Philip as much greif and silly ways you gave us we wouldn't have missed those days for anything. Elise, you are by far the love of his life and he treated you like the princess you are and I couldn't have picked a better soul mate for my son and a better mother for my grandson the love of my life. Frank told everyone he had the best looking baby in the world (complete strangers) right after lil Frank was born Bub called me and the first thing he whispered was Mom I have the most beautiful son he is right here I've head him since he was born and he wheeled him in the room like he had tiffany glass on a cart being wheeled in for a king and queen and the nurses told me what a kind man you where. Your son and Elise was your life and I promise you son the will always b taken care of for I know that is what you would want. You where always there to make sure the rope wasn't around my leg pulling traps, would be there in a second to help me out of the many scrapes I got myself into on the stern and no one could find their mom seahorses like you could. Maybe now Heather can date someone from the island and not fear you killing them you chased so many of your friends aways (that's his fathers son lol). He loved his friends more than words can express and he would give complete strangers children his last dollar if they looked poor and their parents couldn't buy them a candy bar at circle k he loved children that much and would say a couple of dollars to me is nothing (even if that's all he had till next pay day) but to a child it means a lot. I could go on and on but I won't. The most important thing I want to say is that Frankie wanted everyone to be loved and happy. He never spoke a bad word about anyone, he just never spoke it and often told people to quit saying stuff he didn't want to hear it. His Dad and I are proud of the young man he became respectful to others, kind and gentle yet strong enough to do anything a man had to do at a young age. He wasn't ashamed to say Thank You Jesus and I Praise God for that for in Christ Jesus we will see him again, that is the Hope we have in Him. Honor Franks memory but loving lots, laugh and find Peace for that is how he lived his life.
