2 Corinthians 4:16-18
So we do not lose heart.
Though our outer self is wasting away,
our inner self is being renewed day by day.
For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us
an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,
as we look not to the things that are unseen.
For the things that are seen are transient,
but the things that are unseen are eternal.
The love and memories shared with Frank are treasures that will be held dear by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His laughter, his wisdom, and his unwavering support will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
