I have you on my mind often & miss you more than words can say. I catch myself remembering how you always put your arms around me telling me in front of your friends how much you were proud of me♥ When sitting around I see a car pass & think it is your or your son driving up to spend time with me♥ I am so blessed to of known you & being your friend & daughter.♥ I miss both of us working together in each others yard spending time getting things done & at the same time enjoying being together doing it♥ Your actions always showed me I was your friend & you loved me as I did you & still do! When I feel a tear falling, I remember what
I would share with you when tears would fall from your face, me saying happy tears, so I try to remember that when tears fall down my face.
I send you strong hugs & so much love♥

Frank you were one of the most amazing man I had the privilege to know and have a part in my life. You had a love for your family and that came first. Worked hard all your life and just a taste of stubborn. I am so glad my son had a man like you in all of his life for then he had a possitive role model that he loved so much. My condolences to the Mott family as you learn to live this life without his presence but he is waiting for us now in heaven. With much love to all

What a great man! He will be greatly missed by all that was privileged to know him. I pray his family has comfort in knowing he is in a better place and we will see him again one day.
