Thank you again to everyone that has signed the guest book, who came to the funeral, who sent a mass card or a sympathy card or just picked up the phone to check on mom. We are having a hard time dealing with my dad's passing around the holidays. We are remembering him and the good times that we had. Thank you again to David and Cheryl Richardson for everything. You helped us out much more than you know. Have a happy and safe holiday season.

Last night, 12/14, there was a phone call from a friend who informed us Frank died. We are so sorry we did not know beforehand because we would have been there for you. Jim talks about Frank's mentoring with love in his voice and also all the marriage advice before we got married. We remember your warm visits to your lovely home when our children were very young. Frank was a wonderful man and we have such fond memories of him and your family. Jim had the privilege of working with Mark so we knew he was very sick. Frank is at peace and our thoughts and prayers are with during this difficult time.

Thank you to family, friends, co-workers, neighbors old and new who came to the viewing and service for my dad on December 11th. We will all miss pop in our own way. He will always be a part of our memories and our lives. Let's not forget that. He is at peace now and can rest with no more pain and suffering. Everything went great for the funeral even the rain. Pop loved the rain! The rain meant that he could stay home and sleep and not go to work. Maybe he ordered the rain so he could finally take a well deserved rest. We will always love you pop and we miss you a lot!

Delores, Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. I have enclosed a favorite poem for you. I hope it gives you comfort.

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.

With deepest sorrow on the loss of your Dad. Take comfort and strength from your faith and know that your Dad is at peace now and not suffering anymore. He's probably kibbitzing with my Dad already!!!

My family would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers while my father fought both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease. My father is now at peace and will no longer suffer. We will all miss him and we love him dearly.
