Dear Carol,

I received several condolance e-mails from friends but didn't want to flood your e-mail. Condolances came from Michele Gillis, Maureen MacArthur, Jeannine Kent, Roxanne McGloin, Debbie Pike, Hugh MacLeod, Ryan & Brigitte Hollohan, Lisa Hollohan, & Ashley Campbell. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone. They all wish you the best in getting through your enormous loss.

Dear Carol, Jody, & Mark,

Please accept my sincere condolances for the loss of such a wonderful man. The twinkle in his eye will always be present in one way or another as he looks after all those he loved. I'll never forget the salt lick story; you may very well be right....how many of you have heard this story? Frank was always so interesting and unique. I will truly miss him.

Dearest Carol, Jodie and Mark

I'm so sorry I was unable to attend the celebration of Frank's life. Not having been there Tuesday to support you, I have shared a few of my thoughts (too long for this format)on the Beechwood Tribute site, and 'will also email them to Carol.

Lots of love

Bet W.

My thoughts are with Frank's nearest and dearest at this difficult time. Frank brought so much joy to so many and he was kindness personofied. He will be missed, but he will live on in our hearts and in our souls.

Frank was an amazing man. You were so lucky to have him in your life. I enjoyed the little time I got to spend with him. I can actually say I learned something every time we chatted. Frank would have liked knowing that.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time, I will always remember Frank as a kind and generous man and always happy

My dear Carol.. I can imagine what your are living these days.. I am so sorry.. He was like a father for me while I was in Canada.. I will never forget how warm he was when he was in Argentina and when I went to Canada to visit you. I am so sad.. I would love to be there in Ottawa right now with you my friend. I will never ever forget him.

Aunt Gail, Mark and Jodie -

My thoughts are with you and yours during this most difficult time.

I, too, can remember uncle Frank as Santa at Grams' house - such great memories.

My best, always --
Lauren.

Dear Carol, Jodie and Mark,
We have wonderful memories of Frank. He was such a great friend and treated his family and friends as treasures. We will miss him so much.
With our love and sympathy,

We are so thankful that we were able to spend time with Frank and Carol earlier in March.
Maddy has named the largest and brightest star after Uncle Frank where she can talk to him and say goodnight.
We know he'll always be watching all of us, shining brightly - just as he always has.

We have many fond memories of the good times that we spent together during our younger days in Navan. Frank's frequent visits to the home of my parents, Chess and Marion Moffatt,kept them entertained and laughing!
Please accept our sincere sympathies for your sad loss.

Hi Carol & Family
Please receive my sincerest and deepest sympaties for you and your family on Frank’s passing and your great loss. Finding words for times like this is never easy. His obituary describes him well “ A friend to many near and far”. Hopefully dwelling on the good times you had together will give you the strenth to go forward.

Carol & family:
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time...

Carol, family, friends,
Without Frank, the world is a smaller, poorer place, because Frank was a friend unlike any other, always ready to help and lend a hand: even in his final weeks and days, his thoughts were always on helping others, on cheering the world, on the next adventure. So when we cry, we can only cry for ourselves, because we can't share his company any longer. Frank is surely galloping on an eternal polo field, sailing endless seas on this, his last adventurous trip. We have his memories.

Dear Carol and family
So sorry to hear about the loss of our dear cousin Frankie. He always had a warm welcome and smile whenever he saw us and he loved to tell us stories about when we were young and visiting the farm. With our deepest sympathy,

Dear Carol and family,

God Bless,

We were surprised and saddened to hear that Frank had died. Please accept our sympathy. We will remember Frank as an adventurous optimist who was always ready to tackle a new project on the farm or in real estate.

I had the honour to have worked with Frank and shared some thoughts in life. I always enjoyed listening to his venturous stories. He was a gentleman, a caring person and a great teacher.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Dear Carol:

I was saddened to hear about the loss of your husband, Frank. I remember so well the many wonderful stories that you used to share about your family events when we were connected to the literacy field together a number of years ago. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this difficult time.

We are so very sorry for your loss. At times like this it is always important to remember the wonderful times that were shared, and cherish them forever. I will always remember Uncle Frank dressing up as Santa for all of us at Grandma's house one year, and him smiling down at us while handing out gifts to all the cousins. I will never forget him laughing at all the excitement he had created. He will be missed. Our thoughts are with you.

Carol, I was saddened to learn of Frank's death. We had so many wonderful days playing Polo together with the MPC. He will be missed by all his friends and we will treasure the memories.

Carol, Mark and Jodie - I couldn't leave without giving you my heartfelt condolences at this time of loss and sadness for your family. Frank was a lovely man who always held a special affection in my heart (perhaps because we shared the same birth day!). My condolences also to Gail, who has been kind enough to give me mini-updates over the last several years on Frank's many adventures and brave battles! I know Ron Crook and Glen Fraser will miss him terribly . I am out of the country from April 4th to 30th and will be unable to attend his service and for this, I am truly sorry and again please accept my sincere condolences. Darlene

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
