Frank
was more than a neighbor for the past eighteen
years. He was a family member, who was willing
to share his skills and happy go lucky
personality with everyone he met. We will truly
miss his smiles, his warm welcome and the
peppermint candy he would always share. We are
sure he is doing the same things in the here
after, at this moment. He made me realize what
the saying meant, "He never met a stranger". The
family has lost ,a Husband, Father, Grandfather,
Brother and Uncle. The community has lost
someone who truly loved Gleneagles, as a
resident, neighbor and true friend. May God
Bless you all. We are here, whenever the need
arise.

I just want you to know that I will continue
to keep your family in my prayers. Remember
that God is your source and He will get you
through your time of need. God chose an
angel on Monday. Take comfort in knowing
that. Be blessed, Wheeler family!!!

God's grace give you comfort at this time. We
Love you and our prayers are being lifted for
you all.
