NOT FRANK! [Westcliff, CO]

NO! NO! NO! NOOOO!

My calm has been shattered.
I have been caught unawares, stabbed with a dagger of terrible news.

I scream a scream that cannot be heard.
I cry tears that no one can see.

Oh, it hurts so bad.
My heart bleeds no blood that should flow,
thoughts circling my wounded mind in ever more painful spirals of agony.

It is dark now. Suddenly there is no light. Nothing remains of importance.
All is void, and I cannot express my pain.

GOD, HOW COULD YOU? WHY? NOT FRANK!

He is so good. He is your son.
He is a devoted husband, loved dearly by Val, your gift to him.
He is a father of fathers to three sons to whom he is a brother.
