Franklin Ratliff

My father was simply the BEST Father and BEST Husband to our Mother. He was kind, generous, loving, and funny. Until we join him again, there will be that empty space and things will be different for us now, but we have do have our precious memories that will help him live in our hearts forever. He would want me to thank all of you for every kindness you have given our family and to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If you have not received our Lord and Saviour, I would encourage you to seek him today. We will see our Father in Heaven one day and it is our hope to see all of you there as well. Thank you again for every act of kindness you have given and the display of love for our father.

Ann & Family,

Frank was one of my favorite people. I always enjoyed our conversations. I know he had some health problems for several years but he never complained. He loved his family and would always tell me about them. I am very sorry for your loss and hope you will find comfort in your memories and from the love and support of your friends and family.

We are so sorry for your loss. Even though we haven't been in touch often during the years after we all grew up, the Ratliff & Perkins family grew up together & have many beautiful memories of our friendships. Praying that God will comfort, & give all of you strength during this difficult time. Love to all of you from your friends in Oakwood, Va.
