To all who are grieving, we will always remember an uncle with a heart so full of service and love for family and country. He will be sorely missed but lives on in our hearts and lives as the best role model for living a good life. I am sure he has earned his place in heaven and continues to guide us from those lofty heights. Way to go Uncle Frank you went the distance. We will meet again on the other side.
Love,
Jane, Don and Family

I would like to express my deepest condolences to your family. I hope you find comfort from God’s word the bible during this time of grief. For he is near to those broken at heart. Ps 34:17,18 Also, note Jesus’ words of comfort spoken to Martha, who had just lost her brother, at John 11:23-25, “Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise. Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.”
