Gramps, you are truly missed, but we will always remember your kind spirit and smile. Cohen keeps telling everyone that you went up with Jesus! We know that is the case, and we will reunite with you. We love you with all our hearts.

My deepest sympathies to the entire family. I know how hard losing a parent is as I lost my father last May. Please know that you are not alone. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy to the family, I was sorry I hadn't heard of Franks passing sooner. I was a neighbor for 18 years of Frank and Ida's. I was sad for him after Ida's passing, he missed her so, and happy he found Jen, but missed him when he moved away. His keen sense of humor and laugh will always be remembered. I always thought that guy would live forever, he was so vibrant, I guess God has a better mission for him. He has been and will always be missed, since I know he won't be making any visits in the Grandview neighborhood any longer.
