John and Bill,

I was so sorry to learn of Franklin's death. Steve and I did not know about it until this week or we would have been there. We are so sorry for your loss.

Thinking of you!

Dear John,Bill, and Families:

Please know that my prayers and the prayers of the Calvary Baptist family have been uplifted (and will continue to be uplifted) on behalf of the entire Owen family. We will continue to think of you in the loss of your brother.

In the words of Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with . . . peace in believing so that by the power of the Holy Spirit, you may abound in hope."

Peace and Hope,

Dr. Bob Baker

John, Bill,

It was with sadness that I learned of Franklin's passing. I know the years have been hard and his challenges great. Franklin and I go back all the way to Sunday school at Calvary as third graders and all the way through high school and then reconnected in law school. May he find himself in a better place.
