Celebrate my life but shed no tears and don’t cry for me. I have been a blessed man, with love for God, country, family, friends and neighbors.  Blessed with the earthly family I was born into – to teach and guide me by example to know the Holy Scriptures and practice that manner of life.

Blessed with my life companion and loving wife, Geraldine. The mother of our children, Diana Christine (deceased), Dennis Duane, Tammy Louise and Kerry Bruce (deceased).  My encourager, my cook, my helper, my nurse and has worked beside me in all manner of occupation and other endeavors, shared the good times , the hard times, the happy times and the sad times. I loved the children God blessed us with to complete our family unit, our grandchildren and great grandchildren.

I have enjoyed Gods wisdom, in his creation of the world and the beauty of what he gave to us to enjoy and take care of in our earthly lifetime. For Christs dying love, the church, the Christian family, neighbors, friends and others that have blessed our lives in so many ways.

So don’t cry for me I look forward to being with all of you again.

Frank.
