I have a memory, a memory that makes me cry now that I think about it.  I dont remember the year but granny T was alive and it was a holiday, me and Papa got there early, and Granny T was showing me her tomatoes, and Papa Frank told me to come here, he gave me a car he got for me. Anyone that knows him knows He collected model cars.  I miss them, and I miss my family.  I love yall so much!

Im sorry 

Mr. Collins was one our customers at Colonial Bank, on Oakmont.  We enjoyed waiting on him, he was always very pleasant and smiling. We will miss him. Our prayers are with the family.

I have such fond memories of my Uncle Frank.  We were fortunate to spend time with him and Aunt Trula and my cousins when we were kids and many more wonderful years as adults.  I will never forget how much he use to love to antagonize  us as little kids and then do the same to all our children ........he would always get so tickled doing this.  He was always so very sweet to me.  Uncle Frank and Aunt Trula were always like a second set of parents for me.   He will be greatly missed, but I am sure he is so happy to be with his TJ again.

With love,
Donna Crain



Most of my memories about Frank are about him with Trula Jo, and family gatherings; over thirty years of Christmas dinners, Easter celebrations, birthdays, fishing trips to the coast with my mom and dad, hunting trips to "the ranch", and good times, sad times, and good old family times. There is one memory that is just about Frank and myself, though.  Around 1985 Frank and I went to the Byron Nelson Golf Tournament, even though I have never been a fan of golf, it was interesting and really neat to see all the famous players of the day. He got autographs for my mom, and I met so many of the players. We had the nicest time. I will never forget that day. I hadn't spent much time with him over the last couple of years, but I loved Frank very much, he will always be in my heart. My love and sympathy to his family and friends. Elaine Collins
