Not sure what to say?

Oh, Bubba, it´s hard to believe it´s been 18 years since you left us. I miss you. Especially during this time of year... football season. You would be so miserable this year. Your Gators are so bad. They haven´t been good since your beloved Coach "Superior" left Florida. It´s probably best that you´re already in Heaven. You´d have had a stroke or a heart attack watching them the past 18 years. But I sure do miss you. You made work bearable. Speaking of work... we lost the wonderful "Ms...

15 long years! You have missed so much and we have missed having you to share our lives. You would have been so proud of our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren! I pray that peace surrounds you.

This will be the last entry for the memory book. Today it will have been 30 days that Frank left us here. I pray that he knew how very much I loved him and how difficult it will be for me to go on without him. He was my best friend as well as my Husband (and "MSP"). He was a buddy and a pal as well as Father to every one of our children and they loved him unconditionally. May he rest peacefully until we meet again.

Dearest Blanche and Family...our thoughts and prayers are with each one of you at this extreme sad time. For us, his friends/classmates we are still in a shock and numbness...cannot imagine the depth of emptiness you all are feeling. We were so privileged to have Frankie in our lives. He touched countless, countless folk and even their families. What a legacy he left as we read all the memories and expressions of love and admiration. Douglas, Jan, and I could not have complimented...

Dear Blanche; Our hearts hurt. Frank was a fun, friendly, big bear of a man. We feel lucky to have met him and you at your home in Murphy a few years ago. His generosity at giving us one of his prized Gator Santas was so touching, and each year, there he is! Frank, Bob and Hank carried on some interesting e-mail 'conversations' and Bob will especially miss him. Please take some comfort in the fact that everyone who was touched in some way by Frank during his life are thinking of you at this...

Blanche and family:
At our Picadilly dinner Tuesday night it seemed like we all were waiting for Frankie to walk in the room and command us to smile and give us a hug. I will never forget the 40th reunion and all of his excitement the whole weekend! Thanks for sharing him with the great Ribault Class of 67. Go Trojans

I thank God every day for the blessing of a big brother like Frank. He will always be an inspiration to me and it does my heart good to know that so many others feel the same way. Treasured are the many memories I have to hold on to. Always loved, Always missed, Always remembered. My Bubba.

Christa and I met Frank one year ago at Scott and Sandra's wedding in Utah. Instantly, we felt we had know him for years. He touched us right away with his friendliness and good spirit. It was a pleasure to be in Frank's company. We had remained in contact throughout the last year. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. We will miss him dearly.
Scott, my thoughts are especially with you in this very difficult time.

I have added some photos to the guest book last night. We are doing ok somehow.
