Prayers to the Quade family at this difficult time.
Aunt Rachel & family,
Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers during this time. Uncle Frank was a wonderful, kind hearted, humble man. Even though my graduation party was many years ago- I can still hear him playing his guitar for hours. We will miss him just as much as you do. May the wonderful memories that you shared together as a family- help to ease your heart during this difficult time.
You couldn’t ask for a more devoted choir member! He was determined to make it up those steps to join us in the choir. Many times I wondered if he was going to make it. but he did. He was such a good singer and he enjoyed doing it. How we are going to miss him! Knowing Frankie, I am sure he will be singing along with us from now on. God bless you, Rachael and family.
All are in our thoughts and prayers RIP
