Not sure what to say?

Daddy,

How I thank the Lord for all of our days together. And how I praise Him for the merciful way He took you home.

Your service was very special. Sherry has been so wonderful to take care of all the arrangements. We claimed II Timothy 4:7 for your life. So many people loved you, Daddy.

I miss you. . .your smile and your laugh. . .your comforting touch. . . the way you were quietly available in our many times of trial. I miss you, but I know you're in Heaven and...

Aunt Sherry -

We want you to know from all of your family in Marrero, LA that we are here for you in your time of sorrow and need. Also for you to know that anything we can do for you - you are only a plane ride away. We want you to know that we all love you and are sorry for the loss of a wonderful Uncle, Brother-In-Law and even a better husband. In all of our memories now and forever a wonder Uncle and Brother-In-Law from all of your family members in Marrero.

Love you...

Sherry,
I just learned of Frank's passing. I rolled with you guys in the TVA Bowling League for years. Frank always had a big smile and kind words for everyone. I am glad I knew him. God bless you and yours...

Dear Lisa,

I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's death. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. My prayer is that all the wonderful times you shared with your Dad and the special love fathers and daughters have for one another comfort and strengthen you in the days ahead.

Love,
Gayle

Dear Lisa:
Losing our parents is so hard. I remember you sent me a beautiful letter when I lost my daddy in 1991. I also remember slumber parties and spending the night at your house when we were little and how fun it was to sit in your kitchen and drink a coke. Your Mom and Dad always made things fun. I know you have many beautiful memories to get you through your loss.

Love and blessings to your family,

Lisa and Vickie:
I'm sorry I can't come to your Dad's services. Your Dad was always so sweet to me, he always called me "BC" which I loved. I'll always remember how great he was for tagging along with all of us girls to Girl Scout camp. It's funny how we only realize how amazing that was when we are adults and doing all the same things. You will be in my thoughts during this time.

Love,

I'm very proud of my Uncle Frank and what he gave to others in his life. I'm so grateful for the time I was able to share with him. A gentle, kind soul.
I love you Uncle Frank
I will miss your smile everyday.
