    Frank was definitely one of a kind. He is so loved and missed beyond words. We lived together at the Baptist Home, in Monticello, years ago and he was always the brightest light, smiling and making people laugh. I loved him dearly.

    So sad today to hear about the death of my birthday twin. I was his school secretary in lower elementary and we became good friends through the years- always remembering each other’s birthday, thoughts and prayers.
