What a great man Bro. Frank was.  He is going to be missed by all the people that knew him and that "Big" smile that he had.  Greg was just telling me about all the good times that he had teasing him to make him and Bro. Bruce laugh.  He also said that he helped paint one of the house's that Greg's dad bought and had moved.  I remember him because you all sat behind me and mama on the right hand side of the church for years with all the girls.  Please know even tho we can't make it to the service our thoughts and prayers will be with you all.
Love
Greg & Debbie

Peggy, Leah, Sheila and Paula I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, I have fond memories of him he was one of the good guys  I'm sure Heaven is rejoicing in welcoming him home a good and faithful Christian. My prayers, love and hugs are with yall 

Here's to the most sweetest man I have ever know.  I love you more then you will ever know and more then words will ever be able to describe.  I want to take a moment and thank you for helping raise me. You played a big role in my life. It isn't easy to sit here and write this, simply because you should be here with us. I have a lot of memories with you,  especially the ones when you would come home from work and mom would have a dead rat and chase you with it. It gave us all a laugh. But something I will never forget is the love I felt from you, you smiling face is embedded in my brain. I also want to thank you for all the cheese and ketchup sandwiches and picking me up from school for all the days I got sick, which I think we all know was a lot. Papa you kept thing pretty simple and straight forward with us, and for that I think you for. Me and mom were laughing at Dixie the other night because she is a lot like you. She kept on taunting the dog. The Florida vs Georgia games are going to be boring now without you and mom going back and forth about whose team is better and who is going to get their butts kicked. 

We all felt the love from you. You brought church and Jesus Christ into our lives and for that I will forever be thankful. 

Papa this talk isn't over yet, I still have a lot to say, but for now I love you to infinity and beyond.

Forever loved, forever remembered 💛

"Let me tell you something brother" Thank You...Thank you for taking me to church with you Sunday morning and night...Thank you for showing me and telling me about God and his works, He's very proud of you. You are a Good and Faithful Servant and for that you will enter his Kingdom. Thank You for staying up and watching Randy Travis with me Sunday nights even tho you had to be at work early Monday morning. Thank you for being gentle when cutting my nails because sometimes mom scared me with her technique. Thank you for always Blessing us with heartfelt gifts, Thank you for all the great talks and wisdom, Thank you for only putting me in the corner when I said a bad word and mom would tell on me. Thank you for always believing in me and telling me I could do anything I wanted even if it was being a wrestler. Thank you  for introducing me to wrestling, we always had a blast, Thank you for taking me to wrestling events a couple of times, I can't wait till I can take Grayson and tell him how you use to take me and what a blast we had. I'm really gonna miss you, it was truly a blessing and an honor to have you as my grandpa. Be sure to tell God that I'd love some wrestling posters in my room, and can't wait till we can watch it together again. I Love You Grandpa Knight

Dad, you will always be my Hero, I owe you my life and more. Dad, you loved me even before I learned to love myself. You gave me hope even before I could believe in myself. You prayed for me even before I knew what I wanted for myself. For that I am truly blessed to be called your daughter. I love you, now and forever, dad. I miss you more every day. You will forever be in my heart and mind. In God's arms you can gently rest.

"There are no goodbyes for us. Wherever you are, you will always be in my heart."



Sending love and prayers to the family. Uncle Frankie was the last of my mom(Norma Jean/Peachie) siblings. Sadly we had not seen family for years. But my mom loved her siblings with all her heart, before she went home to the Lord at 55. Prayers to you all. The Lord has another angel and know he will be watching over you.
