To the Family:
Punk was a dear freind of ours for many years--and we had many good times. He had a heart of gold. Sorry we lost touch with him over the years (You may remember Dan stopped by the hospital to see him when he had his first by-pass). You and the family are in our thoughts and prayers. He touched so many lives with his smile and kindness. May God bless you and help you thorough this tough time.

We were so sorry to hear about Frankie. Your family will be in our prayers. We always loved to come by and talk with him and get an ink pen. I always enjoyed seeing him in the yard waving back at me. He will be greatly missed by us and the whole community.

Shelly and Brandi,
Proverbs 18:24 'A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly' Frankie was truly a dear friend, not only to us, but, to everyone he met. He would always ask about the family but before he left he would ask again about each one individually. He has been a blessing to us through the years. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers

I pray for peace for your family.
Frankie was my stepdad's best friend (David Correll). I only met him a few times but it did not take more than that to tell what a good person he was. My 6 year old daughter still remembers him giving her her first puppy.
I know it is a very sad time for the community of Woodleaf and that Frankie will be truly missed by many.

My heart goes out to all the family. All Punk's girls are lovely, and I'm sure they will grow up and do great things with Shelly there for them and Punk looking down from heaven. Thank you all for being there for me when Dad died. If anyone in my family can do anything at all, just say the word.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
