"Frank was one of "my" quiet boys. However on the day Daniel's recruiter came, he talked and talked with the recruiter. I had never heard so many words come out of his mouth. As we got to know each other, he opened up with us. Love you always Frank!"

"The God I Know - Author Unknown The God I know is a God close by, Not seated in the far - off sky; He is here on this earth, reflected in the trees, In the mountains, in the flowers, in the sweet summer breeze. In ocean's grandeurm in plain's delight, In noontide glare, and in stilly night. In children's prattle, in manhood's prime. Since the birth of worlds until the end of time. For the God I know, with a thought that's free Is the God of love, found in me, and the memory of you That will always be. "
