My first memory of Frank is when I met him for the first time at work. I told him that he looks exactly like someone I went to training with and she works with me. He said man thats my sister and I responded that she told me her brother was here. We were friends eversince and we all have been family since then. He was a true family man and friend, solong Frank until we meet again.

Such a strong God fearing and obeying man! A pillar to the community and loving family member! Franklin came into our lives and showed us the true definition of a father figure and support system. A heart built of nothing but pure Gold. You left us broken. But with the last energy you had, you made sure to tell everyone around you to obey God. That´s just what I will do. Until we see you again Franklin keep loving on my mom and watching over us.! I forever angel that will never take his eyes off of us! Keep doing the lords work! Get your rest Frank!!!!!
