Our families joined together in January, 2004 when our son, Tim Lynch, married Frank and Karen's daughter (Michelle). We love all of you and will miss Frank very much. We are glad that we had the time with Frank that we did and so sorry that he will not get to see our grandchildren grow up and continue our family lines. We are blessed to be part of this family. He is with us forever, in our grandchildren and in our hearts.

Karen, Derrick, Michael and Michele: we will deeply miss Frank. I will always cherished the fun times and memories that we shared as children grown up together, and how I used to help Frank with his homework.
Frank has touched the lives of many people. I will always hold him in my heart. One of the best things that has ever happen to Frank is when he married Karen and she gave him three beaultiful children, and the grandchildren. The second best thing that happen is when he and Karen and the children GOT THE HELL OUT OF DODGE (Binghamton). Rest in God! Your sister, Arcenia Hughes
