We send our condolences to the family of Frank Hilton. Frank had a witty personality, a humble disposition, and a pleasant smile. We look forward to the time when death announcements will be replaced by resurrection announcements. At John 5:28-29, there is a promise that Jesus will call all those back from the memorial tombs that is in God's memory. May the family take comfort in knowing this promise!
