The End of the Day

We would like to say thank you again for all who were able to come to the viewing and funeral. Your presence was a blessing and a true testimony to the life my dad lead. We still are in a bit of shock. We don't understand God's purpose but we are not to question it. We must except what has happened and try to fill the very large shoes that are now empty.

I have had several express appreciation for this blog. I am amazed at how many people were comforted by my simple words. To be very honest, I started this out of pure frustration with answering phone calls and questions. This quickly turned very therapeutic. I realized that others were finding comfort from my very disjointed thoughts.

We have all lost a lot. We are not the true losers in this though. We all have memories of my dad. We can all remember words of wisdom, moments of joy, and a lot of laughs. There are currently three people do not have the opportunity. Dan and Bekah and Bryan and I are currently task with the enormous responsibility of telling Lauren, Kate, and Grant about their Papa. Hopefully one day David and Melanee will have this task a long with any others the rest of us are blessed with. This leads me to my one request. Please help us with this. Yes, we know our father inside and out. But we don't know the ways he blessed you. We would like to create some sort of book for all current and future grandchildren so they will know the power of God through their Papa. Please add a comment or send me an email (meldou@gmail.com) and give us your Frank or Dwight stories.

I wanted to also let you know that I will try to post the picture video from the funeral soon.

Thank you for your prayers thoughts and kindness that you have shown to my family the last month.
