Frank, you loved your grandchildren with all your heart. You were hard on your children out of love to teach them because that was the only way they would learn. Even though Raymond and I were no longer together, you still considered me family. You loved to tell stories of the olden days. You would always tell me to make sure she stayed in school because she won't get anywhere without a high school diploma. You made me promise to make sure she graduated. Well she did it!!! We love you and we will miss you dearly.

You will be greatly missed Frank.
I remimber the time when Chance ( your grandson) was throwing a fit at age 2, I look over and you are on your knees throwing a fit with him , he stopped and looked at you and you both started laughing. I remember you always being there for Raymond, Chance and My self. If we ever needed anything we could call you. You where tough on us, but also very nice to us. You just wanted to see us do our best and succeed in life. Chance always said you asked him how his grades are doing in school and always told him to get that High school degree. I promise you he will walk across that stage! You will be missed but you will always be in our hearts. Your photo is now places under our memory tree in our home. I don’t have a lot of photos but the one photo I do have of you is of three generation. We love you! We will see you one day over the rainbow ❤. From Tammy and your grandson Chance Schultheis.
