Frank Shafer

Curt,
Sorry I couldnt make the Memorial Service, I was out of town. It breaks my heart to hear about your loss, but we must remember he is no longer suffering. I have some great memories with you guys. Frank was a wonderful person and a great friend.

What a sad day.Frank was like another brother to me and my siblings. He was my brother Kurt Gillesspey's best friend since we were little. He was an awesome friend, brother and I am sure he was an awesome father and husband. As much as it saddens me about his passing, I am relieved that he will feel no more pain. He is in a better place!!!

To My Dearest Family
Some things I'd like to say,
but first of all to let you know
that I arrived okay
I'm writing this from Heaven
where I dwell with God above
where there's no more tears
or sadness there
is just eternal love
Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight
remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night
That day I had to leave you
when my life on Earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said I welcome you
It's good to have you back again
you were missed while you were gone
as for your dearest family
they'll be here later on
I need you here so badly
as part of My big plan
there's so much that we have to do
to help our mortal man
Then God gave me a list of things
He wished for me to do
and foremost on that list of mine
is to watch and care for you
And I will be beside you
every day and week and year
and when you're sad
I'm standing there
to wipe away the tear
And when you lie in bed at night
the days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you
in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on Earth
and all those loving years
because you're only human
they are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry
it does relieve the pain
remember there would be no flowers
unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you
of all that God has planned
but if I were to tell you
you wouldn't understand
But one thing is for certain
though my life on Earth is o're
I am closer to you now
than I ever was before
And to my very many friends
trust God knows what is best
I'm still not far away from you
I'm just beyond the crest
There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb
but together we can do it
taking one day at a time
It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too
that as you give unto the World
so the World will give to you
If you can help somebody
who is in sorrow or in pain
then you can say to God at night
my day was not in vain
And now I am contented
that my life it was worthwhile
knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile
So if you meet somebody
who is down and feeling low
just lend a hand to pick him up
as on your way you go
When you are walking
down the street
and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind
And when you feel the gentle breeze
or the wind upon your face
that's me giving you a great big hug
or just a soft embrace
And when it's time for you to go
from that body to be free
remember you're not going
you are coming here to me
And I will always love you
from that land way up above
Will be in touch again soon
P.S. God sends His Love

Curt thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. Frank will always live in our hearts. Wendi ( Stead)

bobbie  and   famliy.  sorry   to  hear    about    frank   died,    take   of    you  and   kids

Bobbie Jo,

My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow, you and the children are in my prayers that you get through this as smoothly as possible. Know I am thinking of you and if you need anything do not hesitate to call.
Love you as always~Debbie

I have not spoken or seen Frank in years but he was a huge part of my life, he will be missed what a wonderful man he was.  It has saddened me since I found out.  My thoughts are with his mother brothers and his family. 

My heart and prayers go out to the family, he will be missed.

I just heard about the news yesterday and although, I have not had contact with Frank for 20 yrs, I am deeply saddened.  Frank and I had some wild times back in our youth and I am sure there are a whole lot of people who are affected by this in some way.  Rest In Peace my friend!!!! 

Bobbie Jo,
     I saw the announcement in the paper this morning and can hardly blieve this. You and I haven't been together for a very long time, so I didn't know special health concerns....
     I noticed your home by the school looked vacant or somehow different and thought, "Great, NOW how do I find where she's at?" (At least it gave me comfort at least knowing you were there. Heck, maybe you still are! )  I just know you are one strong Lady and you know I'd just about do anything for ya.
     One day at a time...You can do this, Bobbie. I love you and automatically your family. xo, Tonya    

Frank was one special guy that had a huge heart and was a faithful friend that will be missed dearly. He is finally at peace.  Love and prayers to your families.  Tiffany
