A Silent Tear

Just close your eyes and you will see,

All the memories that you have of me.

Just sit and relax and you  will find,

I’m really still there inside your mind.

Don’t cry for me now I’m gone,

For I am in the land of song.

There is no pain, there is no fear,

So dry  away that silent tear.

Don’t think of me in the dark and cold,

For here I am, no longer old.

I’m in that place that’s filled with love,

Known to you all, as ” up above”.

A special Thank-you to everyone at the home for taking such good care of him.
Frank was a joker, always finding a way to brighten everyone’s day. He was a man of few words but many smiles. Born and raised in Markland, he loved his home there. If able he would have lived his entire life with his loving wife, fishing, cutting wood and tending to the land he was so proud of with his dog Sasha by his side.
Francis will be buried next to his wife Ina in the United cemetery in Whitbourne.
Unfortunately we are unable to have a memorial service at this trying time as we wish to keep his loved ones safe. We will inform everyone of future celebrations of life for him.
