Mr. White was always so kind when he came and picked up our lawnmower. He was such a gentle man and reminded me of my Dad in that respect and I'm sure that you're talking things over with Him in Heaven with Jesus. How we'll miss them, but we will see them again one day!

Joyce, Frankie, Tim, Mitch, Wives and grandchildren. I am so saddened to know this earth has lost one of the most gentle, loving, Christian men I know. I have a peace in knowing our loss of Papa Frank is Heaven's gain. I'll always cherish the times we had at Emanuel Baptist when he directed the choir and I played the piano for the church. Hearing the White Brothers quartet and playing at times for them to sing are memories I will carry forever. His favorite saying to me when there were musical challenges was "you always do better under pressure" and to this day, I remind myself of that when faced with hard decisions. Somehow I think he'd say that to you now. There will be a day of reunion and what a day that will be. God bless you all. To Papa Frank I would say rest my friend in the warmth of our Savior's arms. Love to you all.

Frank was always such a kind person at the shop helping my mom, Juanita Stewart, who also worked with him at the telephone company years ago. I know your hearts are heavy at this time but God will help you through this with comfort, peace, strength, and guidance. Remember the happy times and the difficult ones will fade away - he is in no more pain - take comfort that you can see him again someday.
