I am Frank's youngest sister. I worshipped the ground Frank walked on as a little girl. He was always wonderful to me. Today at the communion rail, I almost laughed thinking of the last time i took Frank to church. Frank didn't join me at the railing because he didn't do that any longer. The minister came over and served him communion. As we were leaving church, Frank told me he was glad they served snacks at church.
Frank loved his church and his community.
We will all miss him.
