To the Arnold Family and Adair,

I did not know Frank, but from what I hear he was very dear to your heart. I am so sorry for your loss. Take this time to rely on God for all things, for there is nothing, absolutely nothing he doesn't put us through that we cannot withstand. I know how hard it is right now and the pain you are enduring, but I do know first hand that time will ease your pain. God Bless you all from the bottom of my heart. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Uncle Frank-

You are truly missed by all. You have touched more lives than you realized, including mine. I will never forget the concert tickets you gave me when I was 19. I can't wait to celebrate music with you once again on the other side. I love you.

Frank,

You brought more joy to my life then you will ever know. The fishing trips, and Our culinary delights and disasters. The shooting range and our work. I will miss your sarcastic ways but thats what I loved about you. Rest in peace until we meet again and I know we will. To the Arnold Family: Words cannot express my deepest condolences to you all. Love you Frankie.

To All of Franks Family with deepest sympathy, Byron & Clarissa

August 16, 2006

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Frank,

You will surely be missed. Your jokes, your laugh even your wise cracks. You have been a dear friend and have touch others lives more than you will know, or do you? The Saturday nite meetings that you took people to. The fishing trips you shared and your catch of the day "sturgeon" that you shared with the GH family. Many of us love you and we'll miss you Man. We know if anything you are at peace. With Love
