I have tried three times to write and three times I have erased it-Wow-how can you say or put into words on how you feel at this moment-there are not enough adjectives to express my/our saddness for you Linda, the boys, Fran,Leslie,Laura,Reed, and all the Wright clan-Can't begin to even imagine what you guys are feeling right now-I'm sorry we can not be there for you at this time-but in some ways we are-I can't help but laugh at the times with Frankie growing-up-playing ball behind Melton Holland's or going to 10th st and kick the can--wow-he never forgot his friends and I know we won't either--I have those memories forever and you have yours---so in some ways he will never leave us--maybe not today or tomorrow but whenever- this is to let you know we are there for you all--so let's get together soon and raise a glass to the sky and remember all those memories He gave us--Love all of you guys--and will keep you in our prayers-Pat, Debbie and Anna Frances Smith-the Beaver Dam Crew

We express our deepest sympathies for your loss. Wish we could have attended in person to sign the guest book. Please let us know if we can do anything.

Linda and family - there are no words to express our deep sadness at the loss of such a wonderful person as Frank. He (and the rest of you) made everyone feel like we were best friends - even though we met such a very few times. May God be with you during your walk in sadness and grief and give you the knowledge that you will all be reunited in a better place. God bless you all - Don and Donna Riley

I was a classmate of "Frankie" He was always such a happy fun loving guy, I was so sorry to hear about this tragic event. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Just want to tell you what you already know Frank was such a happy, energetic, good hearted person. I got the pleasure of working with him for a short time at Aker and he was always in a good mood and always talking about his family in such a loving way. Linda he loved you so much and he beamed with pride when he talked about you. My heart aches for the family and all of the friends who will miss him so much. A bright light has been taken from this world.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Linda, the boys, Stella and Charley, Fran, Laura, Reed, Andy, Charla and Lori. I know Frank will be lovingly missed by all of you and I pray God will give you comfort and courage through this terrible time. I will always remember Frank's humor. He was a great guy. May God Bless each of you. Your Friend for many many years:Wanda Spradlin

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
