I remember well when Frank and Juanita first met. No two wonderful people were ever more in love. He came into her life at a time when she needed love and tenderness. It was meant to be. Such a kind, loving and protective man not only to her but to all of his family. I also remember, with laughter when I found out he was from Kentucky. In a joking way I said "Yeah, I bet he wears white socks too!". His own sense of humor was displayed the first time I met him. As he came through their back door, he looked at me through the sliding glass door, raised his foot and pulled up his pant leg to point out the white socks he had on! We all had a good laugh. That's the kind of guy Frank was and he will be missed. Rest in peace dear Brother-in-law. See you on the other side. Prayers for you Juanita and the family. Love, Jan
