If you are reading this, I’m Colleen, Frank’s youngest child. I don’t know what made me look at this site today, other than a moment of grief that are beginning to rise to the surface.
I’m so grateful to see that many of you, whose names I know and stories were shared by my Dad, finally received word.
It was my Dads first directive on his list for me to get the news to the “parakeet “.
With the help of my cousin and her husband, Jeanne and Bob Rupp, they full filled that wish.
I apologize to those who communicated by email faithfully with my Dad, that I could not tell you sooner, as there were problems accessing my Dads contacts. I will put my email in the content, please feel free to contact me and share with others.
I had the blessing and honor to walk with my Dad, the last five months of his life to the gates.
Father Raybourn, I feel as if I know you, as I said my Dad told me stories about so many of you over the years, I will be grateful to talk about those months and his passing, as I have been swept up in the business of the remains of his life, becoming more complicated than my Dad ever intended due to an unforeseen obstacles, my Dad intuitively warned me of.
We were very close and as you can imagine, he is my hero. I welcome the opportunity to talk about him and hear your experiences.
Please know my Dad died the way he lived. He made his bed the day he passed.
My Dad was a man of unwavering faith. He walked the walk. During the months he asked me to come and stay. We prayed every night and talked intimately about his faith and life.
He was a Warrior, a Patriot, Protector, Wise Sage, Loyal, generous friend to many.
He was a realist, told it like it was, incredibly intelligent and intuitive. As friends you all know this. As his daughter, I was blessed.
He lived life until the day his heart stopped on his terms.
I am living by the words my Dad said to me so many times, “keep the faith”. As my Dad said to me so many times.
Thank you to all who wrote. It has given me comfort. Gratefully, Colleen
