You could search the world over and not find a better man than your Dad, Randy. He was probably the finest,kindest, most honest man you could ever meet. A true example of a Christian man. He will be greatly missed.

Sullivan family,
Your father was a good friend of mine for a lot of years. I worked for Navasota Valley Electric when he retired. I enjoyed visiting with him at church when I would come to visit my grandmother, Nora Swingler. I feel like a part of the Franklin family and they will always have a very special place in my heart. Cannot attend as my daughter is in the hospital in Waco at this time. I love yall much.
In Christian love,
Bobby Sellman
