My uncle Frank was a man of constant Faith in Our Lord. He lived his life serving Him and teaching all around him how to live this way. My fondest memory of my dear uncle is our last visit to Harper’s Valley Resort in August of 2011. Dave and I were celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary and Dave had already begun chemo that past winter. They spoke of Faith and Love in Our Lord on a few occasions during that visit. Most of our family were there too. I know that my uncle prayed each day for my Dave and the fight he had each day to remain alive. I know in my heart that we both learned so much more about believing and accepting Christ in our lives on that visit than on any other previous to that. Oh…and Dave always loved the way your son in law, Basil, called you Frankie. I’m glad we had that time together uncle…and I know my aunt Mary is a very happy woman today…you and she together…the way it was meant to be. I know that when you see my Dave, you will remember together, the many good times we had together. We’ll take care of your wonderful girl…my BB. Love you forever!

Uncle Frank, You have always showed us how to live with our Lord as our light. You are an amazing husband, father and grandfather. The best uncle a person could ask for. You have burned a memory forever in our souls. We will meet again with the Lord at our side. Love you and your family so much. Dave & Kathy Holmes
