My sweet Franky, you have always been a light in my life for sooo many years I looked to you for your wisdom and love. I pray for your family and trust you are in the arms of angels. I love you my friend- when I heard Prince singing "baby I'm a star" of course I thought of you- and now that song has a whole new meaning- you are still shining your light- from heaven as a star in the sky!! shine on my love.

My prayer is that Frank Jr. finds the everlasting peace and love he worked for his whole life; and that those whose lives he has touched will remember the beauty and joy he tried to give. My heart remains with my niece, Christian, her husband Ian, and her dear mother Pamela. He has joined his own mother, his Gramdear, and his Mamaw whom he loved dearly along with all the other ancestors who preceded him in the afterlife. Rest Frank, then fly like you always did even here on earth. Be seeing you in the sky little brother. See you in the sky.

We know Frank through our much loved daughter in law Christian.
He was instrumental in raising a wonderful young lady who truly loved her father Frank.
We pray that Frank has found peace with Christ and someday will be reunited with his loved ones.
With deepest condolences and sympathy.

Frank, I never really got to know you but I can say that you were and always will be the most dedicated, devoted, and most loving Father to Christian. You fly with Angels now and one day we will spend eternity getting to know each other. My love to all the Moore 'Ohana and to my dear Christian for your strength and courage you've been so capable of handling, which I can say comes from your faith and belief that our Father in Heaven has promised through his son Jesus Christ. I love you Chris, Ian, and Pam. God Bless you all. Love Aunty Tammy
