Arthur Franklin Jr.

2 years later and my heart is shattered just the same and I am still numb. I can't fathom never being able to talk, hug or just hang with you ever...continue to watch over me and know I am trying extremely hard...everyday is an uphill battle and I feel as though I am swimming against the current life sure has been different these past 2 years and even though I know you are with me everyday I don't feel safe. Just know you are always on my mind, forever in my heart...I will love and miss you...

I can't believe it has been a year already. It sure has been a rough one and I am still just as numb today as I was that day. Life sure isn't the same without you. I know Mom and Michael were there to greet you but Dawn and my hearts are shattered. I love and miss you so much little brother. You and Michael continue to take care of Mom, watch over Dawn, myself, Alexa, Ava and Axel. Rest peacefully sweet angel until we meet again ❤❤❤

my life will never be the same-or theirs...I will always see you in them, love you in them, cherish the parts of you I get to see passed onto them and as you requested I will always remind them daddy loves them always and forever...they will know the best of you and how much their mother adored and unconditionally loves you. even death won't change that! you will always be mine, I will always be yours. I have to believe this isn't goodbye, just see you later-that's the only thought getting me...

Dawn and family, we are so sorry for your loss. Prayers and love go out to all of you.

Holly, Rich, Jared and Emily
