A Tribute to Frank Sims, Sr.
"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scournful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord. "
Today we pay tribute to a loyal Christian, a loving husband and father, to a dedicated son and brother. Frank has always been a faithful church worker. He was honest, dependable and kind-hearted. Surely, he walked with God. He was reliable and forthright. He showed respect to young and old alike. Surely, he standeth with God. Frank lived a full and Godly life. He worked hard and enjoyed the time he had. Longevity is promised to none, but at forty-nine years he made his mark. His delight is in the law of the Lord. Frank, may your soul be at peace.
We love you, Your family
