Nancy Ann and all of Frank's family are in my thoughts at this time of loss. I grew up with you and all the Stafford's Creek and Nettle Ridge community of families. I remember riding the school bus with Frank and Nancy Ann. I later rode the County Bus to Chipola Jr College with Ethel and her sister Polly. I remember stopping by Franks parents home on the way to Nettle Ridge Church "League" on Sunday nights, visiting his Dad, Ben, usually out milking his cows and his adorable Grand Parents who lived with them. I have followed your lives over the years through the County Record. The community will miss you Frank and we hope for Peace to be With You and those that you leave behind.
