Happy birthday cuz miss you buddy
Daddy Frank I will miss you. You and Debbie have been there for me almost my whole life. I met Chris when he was 9 and I was 5 years old. You were in both of our lives for the good and the bad. You were our father and a mentor to us. Debbie was a loving wife to you and a great mother as well.. One memory that truly stays with me to this day was when we went on a fishing trip. It was the Wade Boggs fish camp on Lake Lochloosa located above Gainesville, Fl. On the way, we stopped at a Walmart and Chris wanted a knife. You guys bought it for him. He was so happy you had got it for him. We got somewhere around Gainesville and stopped at a gas station. If I remember correctly you were putting gas in the car and Mom was inside... Chris was playing with the knife showing me he could turn it upside down and catch it by the handle as it came out of its sheath. Well I'm sure you would guess what happened next... He missed catching it and the knife rotated and went straight into his leg. He jumped out of the car and ran to the bathroom and locked himself in. Finally got him to say what was wrong and all he could ask was would he still be able to go fishing.... They gave him a temporary patch and we went to the camp and unpacked. Mom tooke Chris to get stitches at the local hospital. You and I went out on the boat fishing. I caught a mud fish and it was the first time I was ever in a boat on a lake... I had an amazing time... I also remember coming back to dock... And you were instructing me to use the pole and rope to help pull us in... Well I slipped away and fell in the water... And Chris and mom were just pulling up. We had fried green tomatoes from a fellow camper... It was a amazing time...and there were many times after that as well... I love you daddy Frank. You are missed.... 21 Guns!
We will miss you. I know that Neal will miss his talks with you. Love, Neal & Mavis Terrell
