Daddy, I miss you so much, mommy says you are with us all the time but I want to touch your face and hug you. I want us to watch our hunting and fishing movies on saturdays, and the john wayne movies on sundays. Thank you for being the best dad. Thank you for going on field trips with me and for massaging my legs when they were tired. everybody misses you at The Elks, mommy cries for you alot, but I tell her I will take good care of her just like you told me. I wish you could come back home to me, dont ever forget me daddy. I love so much, your son Julian.

Baby; It is impossible that a year has past since you've left me...""It will never be the same. ""I will never be the same. I feel as thou I'm just existing in this life. I feel empty and unfocused all the time. I keep remembering when we met twelve years ago, you asked me; "Where have you been all my life?" You called me your mexican beauty, your princess. I fell in love with your honey-colored eyes, you were so handsome with your salt and pepper hair, and that smile. A beautiful, sexy smile that made me melt. You came into my life like an angel from above, and loved me without reservations. With a heavy heart, not wanting to leave us alone, and not ready to leave this life.. you left me and my son. But you stood by us with enough time-to prepare us and give us strength to walk alone on this earth. I had the privilege of being your wife, you were my pride and joy, and I was proud to be Mrs Frank Aragon. You were an amazing husband and father to my son, a true friend that taught us so much. I promise to honor your name and live with your memory now and forever. I Love You Baby... Your wife forever, Marie.

Uncle Frank,
I wish I could have seen you atleast one last time, but I will cherish the memories that we have been blessed the share with you. Jasen and I love you very much and have always said that you were our favorite uncle :) You were the only person we knew that could make 23 and 21 year old adults turn into 4 year old children with your presence. We also decided that you were one of the most devistatingly handsome men on the face of the planet :) It hurts to realize that we will no longer be able to see you physically but I know that you will forever be in all of our hearts.

Love you always,

Jenna

My thoughts and prayers are with the Aragons and my family DeAnna, April,Kimmy, and Aunt Elaine. I love you guys.

To The Aragon Family:

My condolances to you all. I worked with Frank as an engineer during the Western Electric days, the AT&T days, the CSI days, and the Belden days of the cable plant. He was always helpful and extremely knowledgable about the machines he operated, proud of his job and always had a smile and friendly attitude towards me. He was also usually the CLEANEST-LOOKING operator, for having such a dirty job! I know he will be missed, but I also know you will all be able to see him again someday in the next world.

Dear Aragon Family,
I knew Frank when he would come out to the Avondale Sheriff's substation to ride and help us out. I was always impressed with his attitude, demeanor, professionalism, competence, friendship and wanting to help. Frank was a pleasure to be around and I enjoyed him being there, alot of others did also. This place we live in is alittle less nicer without Frank. I was surprised and saddened to read about his passing. Please accept my most sincere condolences.

To the Aragon family, I worked with Frank in the wiredraw machines at the cable plant. When it closed he was one of those who I will always remember. We had some good talks and too many laughs to think of. He will be missed by many because he had the gift to touch your heart. Frank we love ya, guess God needed ya more than us.

To the entire Aragon family, we were truly saddened to hear about Frank's passing. I had the pleasure of seeing Frank not too long ago here in Victorville after the passing of an uncle of his and he looked healthy. But when the Lord calls you home it doesn't matter how you look its his call and nothing can change that. He is at peace with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Father our King of Kings.
