There is not much that can be said in a time like this to ease the pain. Your family is at the center of my heart and I struggle daily to understand certain things that take place in life. I do know that Our Lord has a plan for us all to be together someday. Please remember these words as your days pass by and God assures you that it will be ok. I am truly sorry for the unexplainable and promise to pray for the Fraley Family for as long as I live. I do not know you personally, but have met many of you and know that your family is STRONG, because I am a Fraley also. I pour out my sympathy, love and prayers to you and your family. May God bring peace and happiness to you!!

Our hearts are broken for you all. We have known Josh about ten years through his employment at ASE. We always looked forward to seeing him and chatting with him while our seed and feed was loaded. We were privileged to watch him grow; we knew when he got married, saw his pride around his first born son, and when he became a Daddy of a beautiful baby girl. We will miss him dearly. He was a first class young man, and we are honored to have called him a friend. You have our deepest heartfelt sympathies in his loss and the loss of sweet little Easton. May God hold you all close and bring you comfort.

My deepest sympathy to the Fraley and Rinker families. How depressingly tragic beyond words. One of the most kind, gracious, jovial and honest men that I have ever known and one of the main loves of his life--an innocent 2-year-old son removed from this world in a flash!
Offering my deepest sympathy cannot do much to ease your pain, but know that my prayers and deepest sympathy are with you. Jim Blazek
