To my Dearest Daddy,
You will be missed greatly!  We love you so much!  I hope you are at peace and rejoicing with your son and loved ones.  You will always be with us as well as Timmy.  We will be together again!

Terri, you and your Family are in my Prayers and May GOD Bless you and your Family in this very difficult time!!!..."Peace be with you all...."

Linda you are in our thoughts and prayers. There are no words that can take away your pain but know that we are here for you in your time of sorrow.
                                                                         Kris Lyons & Monica Brown

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

 Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
 Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
 That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
 God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

 It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

 God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not  be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Linda, My heartfelt condolences! May you rely on God's promises during this sad time. In Matthew 5 God said,  blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.  May God bless you!

Linda, I will be thinking of you and your family during this time of grief. I wish I could be there to give you a great big hug and to say goodbye to Franklin. I have a lot of great memories of the Roberts clan that I will never forget. I am truly blessed to have had you all in my life. 

Franklin, you were a good man and I will miss you. When you see Timmy, tell him that the boys and I miss him too.

We will miss you Frank so many memories.
I will watch over Linda for you and make sure that she will be ok. Give Tim and Mom a kiss for me.... RIP Love You
