Frank's sister Agnes,and I traveled to the Florida National Cemetery on Jan 26,carrying the cremains of Frank for interment.A simple.short rite took place for the entombment located in a very attractive part of the cemetery.A scene of peace and quiet pervades the entire area,enhancing the hope for an eternity of peace and comfort for all who have gone before.This location is one of the more desireable resting places for our nation's veterans;experiencing as many as 60 funerals per day,or about 150 per week.Agnes and I are pleased with the location,knowing that their final resting place will be cared for by a staff of dedicated workers.This is a location that deserves consideration when a loved one departs this world for the next.It is a location that I intend to re-visit in my lifetime.

Frank Benko was a well known friend of mine;kind,considerate,caring sort of a person that always made you feel welcome.His generosity was a major factor in everything he did,giving of his time, talent and financial aid.His assistance to me at my time of need proved to be crucial to my successful recovery from the loss of my husband and son.He will be long remembered.
