I think of you often. You were so sensitive and caring as a child, you made your cousin Ian feel comfortable around you and he remembers. Autism so misunderstood back then but he loved being with you. It's only one of our special memories your Auntie Kim, Ian and Fallon have of you. Forever in our hearts and never forgotten!

Its been a while since I've written. Time goes by so quickly sometimes. I reflect often of our friendship through the friendships my son has made. Theres so many similarities and great memories that I'm able to relive through his experiences as a kid growing up. Goofy, competative, caring, kids without a care in the world. I miss those days with you but also very grateful we had them. Those memories will never fade. Love you Frank.
Hope you are well Lockman Family.

Dear nephew. You are particularly missed by a cousin who has never forgot you and talks about you. You reached out to Ian when others were fearful and didn't understand him. I love you and miss you to, your sensitivity and sweetness. I tell Ian you are in heaven with God and that he will see you again.

February 24, 2020

I miss you today and every day. That will and has never changed. You left a mark and void that will never be filled. I often think how life would/should be with us as adults. Kids, houses, vacations laughing about memories of the past. I will take your spirit, laughter, sarcasm, and determination with me forever. Love you my friend.

February 24, 2020

Thoughts and prayers! I miss you

February 1, 2020

as we approach your angelversary...... I think your sister is going to be married soon and what would you think about her fiancé. I know you'd give him hell.... LOL. I miss hearing you say, "I love you, mom". Super Bowl is tomorrow and the last time you told me you love me was Super Bowl 2006 and I can still feel your arms hugging me. I miss you dearly

February 24, 2019

As another year passes I think about all you became and were going to be. I miss you son!

February 24, 2018

Whereas, today is the day the Lord allowed you to bless us with your presence, it is the day I most remember of just how truly blessed I was to have spend some time with you. I miss you! Dad

Mom

February 7, 2018

You taught me many years ago to never say never... some of the things you did as a teenager I would have never believed, if someone would have told me if I didn't see them myself, I would have called them a liar. And having a mother like me, chances are you probably felt the same way that if you hadn't seen things that I've done or lived through you wouldn't believe them either but you and your sister lived it with me. And now I can truly say "never".... never will my life be the same. Never will the entire month of Feb be the same, but through it all, God is carrying us through and I can't wait to see you again on the other side.
Much Love

February 24, 2017

As I reflect I can only focus on the joy, smile and quick wit you shared with everyone. You are in the hearts and minds of everyone you have touched. Love you!

February 4, 2017

Superbowl is tomorrow and the was the last time I heard say "I Love you, mom" and saw that beautiful face full of live. I miss you soooo much and I am sure you know that and telling God, look at mom and asking Him to help me because only He can carry me through with this hole in my heart. Our bond was/is so strong that it seems unreal (after 11 years) that you are not on this earth with me. I did the best I could as a single mother raising a young man and you turned out quite well.... you are smart, handsome and a have a beautiful soul. They say mothers can't teach a boy how to be a man, well i feel as though I did a damn good job of it. Love and will miss you until I meet you in heaven. love mom

Today is 2/1/2017... where does the time go. We are coming up on 11 years and no matter how much time goes by, it still feels like yesterday.

My brother, I dreamed about you last night for some reason. The first time ever since you left this earth. My heart is still heavy for not attending your funeral but I cherish all the memories we had. I don't know the details of your passing and honestly not sure I need to know. I do know one thing and that is this: I love you and the fam.

Your brother from another mother. -John Ely-

February 24, 2016

Oh how I wish you were here. It is selfish but I know you are in better hands than mine. I love you son!

August 21, 2015

Your void is felt now more than ever. As we grow older it becomes harder to connect with links from the past.. You were that link who was/will always be there. A true friend. I carry you with me through everything I do. Every major accomplishment, and every hardship I take you with me.

February 24, 2015

Time isn't healing, I miss you just as much today as I did 9 years ago.

February 7, 2015

Another year has gone by and I miss you consistently. Every year at the reunions your being remembered in so many ways, but most of all your contagious smile and witty sense of humor. Luv ya

February 7, 2015

My heart aches to see you face and hear you say "what up mom?"

I remember this as if it was yesterday.... they say time heals but nobody said how much time is needed to heal. Love and miss you, MOM

February 8, 2013

As each day goes by I see how your absence is missed in all I do now. As you are aware of what I do and how difficult it can be to impart values and prinicpals onto others. However, as I look at your picture on my desk I am reminded how important your prescence is in my life. You are a major pillar in my life and we miss you. Dad!

February 7, 2012

It's weird how something can be six years ago and yet remember every detail about that day. Then I remember that it was only one day, and that I can remember countless times spent with you at birthday parties, school dances, or just talking about life at our parents houses.. And that helps to put things in perspective a little. You really taught me what it is to be a true friend, someone who allows the friendship to bend but not break, and no matter the circumstances always have your friends back. Keep watching over your family with that big smile, and know that you will never be forgotten.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN 5 YEARS AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR YOU TO COME THROUGH THE DOOR... I AM TRYING TO BELIEVE BUT NOT THERE YET.... I LOVE YOU... YOU ARE MY FIRST BORN AND MY REASON FOR LIVING.... I MISS YOU MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW... I AM REPLACING YOUR HEADSTONE WITH ONE THAT YOU DESERVE AND JUST MAYBE AFTER THAT I CAN POSSIBLY START TO ACCEPT THINGS... I KNOW YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH ME AND TO HUG YOU THE OTHER NIGHT IN A DREAM WAS SO AWESOME... I TRY REALLY HARD TO MAKE ELYSE FEEL SPECIAL THIS MONTH AND LET HER KNOW THAT I LOVE HER AND WANT TO CELEBRATE HER DAY.... WHAT A MONTH... FEB

As another year comes and goes it gets more difficult. To know your free and in peace with the Lord allows me some peace. I miss you.

Hey Juice, I was looking at some pics today. From your baby pics all the way upto Age 21. The Lord helped me to realize that you had a good life here on earth. The pics of you smiling, hugging Elyse, hugging me and hugging us both... as we hugged you. There are so many precious memories etched in our hearts and souls of the time God gave us with each other. You belonged to the Lord even before you were born and now your home with the Lord. Elyse and I spent some quality time together for her birthday and had a blessed time, the only thing that was missing is you,,,but you are not missing, we saw your smiles on the pics and in our hearts. Our hearts a place you will always be until we see you again. I gave Elyse an Angel Worry Stone for her birthday, just like the one you gave me a few years ago and she remembered and knew right away what it was... so now we both have one. We will always miss you... Much love and hugs,
MOM

PS I don't visit the cemetary like I used to, simply because I know that you are not there and that you are with me no matter where I am. I think I went so much just to feel like I was taking care of you... I know silly... but God told me that you were never in that grave, from the day you took your last breathe that you have been with Him and will remain with Him.

The Holy Spirit placed Frank in my mind and heart today. God had a reason. His spirit touched my heart the day his temporary assignment was complete here on earth and I know the Lord Our God held him and said, "WELCOME, JOB WELL DONE MY FAITHFUL SERVANT!!!" Disciple Frank set a record in reaching out to the Young Men and Women in Dedicating and Rededicating their lives to God. "I SALUTE YOU SOLIDER!!!!"

Love,

Dear Liz and Elyse, I did not know of this guest book before and am glad Lucy showed it to me before it was no longer available. You know that I have been praying for you both and I grieve with you as well. This kind of loss is one that a mother should never have to endure. It truly hurts my heart to think of the pain and empty place that Franks passing has left in your hearts. I know you are so proud of Frank and how much joy and love he brought to both of your lives. He was a wonderful, extraordinary young man with a promising future. We must remember that God does take the best while they are young and God must have needed Frank for something special in heaven. But thank God that we will all see him again...on the other side and for all of eternity. I love you my "Stick" sister. Love and Prayers

Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven, and the same voice I had heard before spoke to me with the sound of a mighty trumpet blast. The voice said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things." And instantly I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it! The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones-jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled his throne like a rainbow. Twenty-four thrones surrounded him, and twenty-four elders sat on them. They were all clothed in white and had gold crowns on their heads. And from the throne came flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder. And in the front of the throne were seven lampstands with burning flames. They are the seven spirits of God. In front of the throne was shiny sea of glass, sparkling like crystal. We will live a life without fear and worry, without need, without pain, without sorrow. While we look forward to the glories of heaven, one thing far outweighs them all: the fact that we will be able to spend eternity with Jesus.

Frank Lockman, Young Bruh, No one would have ever expected the unexpected. You never judge a book by it's cover. Frank had the heart of a Warrior. The last time I spoke with Young Frank he was going though a crossroads in his life. He was dealing with school issues, 3 of his cousins had just been killed at the same time in California, His grandmother wanted him to come back to California immediately after that, and he was trying to figure it all out. He also told me that he felt as if the lord was calling him to his ministry. I advised him to keep listening to the lord for the guidance he was seeking. Frank was also a speed (Fast Motor Vehicle) addict. He loved fast cars and Motor cycles. There are many different individuals and personality's in this organization ours and Frank was definitely an individual. He is missed by many here in Texas. His line brothers were all greatly affected as they lost another line brother 3 days before Frank. I have prayed for Franks soul: that he knew the lord, is saved and is with the Lord Jesus Christ. I also pray that the lord bless the Lockman family in this Great time of grief. I am a family friend and will always be there to assist. You can depend on me. Frank's Brother, Friend, and Assistant Dean of Pledges.

Dear Liz and Elyse,

My heart is broken for your loss. Please know that we at EMSA are all saddened by Frank's passing. I know how proud you were of him, and what joy he brought to your lives. Whenever we meet or speak, we always come together as mothers in love with our children. And so it is with a mother's heart that I grieve with you in this most tragic of losses.

To the Lockman Family,



Our family learned of Frank's death on Sunday February 19, 2006 and we are deeply saddened to hear about the accident that took his life. We were confronted by our son Dustin who met us at the door - with a quiver in his voice and a tear in his eye as he told us about the accident that took Frank. Frank was very special to all of us and we are really upset to hear about his death.



We are all truly saddened to hear and are very sorry to have missed the services. We wanted you to know that Frank's friends here from Bowie High School, all now in college, met Sunday night to reminisce. He was an exceptional young man and awesome friend. Dustin still talks about their cross-country trip to Sacramento, something he'll never forget - and their plans to attend medical school together. Please know all of us in Maryland have you all in our thoughts and prayers. Those who God loves best die young.

To the Lockman Family:

I had the pleasure of getting to know Frank for a short time during the summer of 2003 in Birmingham, AL. He was always the life of the party. I am deeply sorry for your loss and pray for your family during this difficult time of transition. I am also a soror of Delta Sigma Theta and would like to send a special Coleman hug to my brother of Omega Psi Phi.

I didn't know Frank, but the LORD knows him better than anyone. To be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD. He is in a better place now. No worries, pain or sorrows. If there is anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to call me.

Liz, please accept my deepest and heartfelt sorrow in the loss of you son. Any time I would ask, how are you kids doing, you could just see a mother's love light up in your eyes when you talked about your kids. Liz, I am praying for you and your family and ask that God bless your precious son. Remember, he will always be watching over you.

Your friend,
