Tributes
"Heather I am so sorry for the loss of your son. I lost Chris last year so I know the pain. It will get better. Be strong you will get through this. "
"Heather and Family, I just really know what to say except you are truly in our thoughts and prayers at this time. When Brandon came home Sunday and told me about Frank I was so sadden. I just couldn't believe it. I had literally been working all that day on photos putting them in albums. There are so many of Frank and Jesse at Boy Scouts, Halloween and our vacation to Myrtle Beach etc. I was remembering all the special times when they were young and spent at our house when I received the news that day. We will all have special memories of Frank that we will keep close to our hearts. He will be truly missed. When your heart feels like it cannot go on through this diffcult time, try and hang on to all the good memories and how he has touched all of your lives. I know even though he was younger, he still touched mine. In loving memory of Frank, Kathy Reeves "
