| To Family and Friends of Sgt. Frank J. Gasper we feel the pain that you feel it may not be the same, as we all feel it in different ways at different times. Our sons are together now standing Guard at the Gates of Heaven.
“Remember Our Fallen Heroes”
If you look in the hearts of our heroes
You’ll see tears swelled with pride
Yet underneath there’s a shadow of sadness
For the Soldier no longer at their side.
Side by Side they served with honor
To God’s arms they go one by one
From the hearts of a grateful Nation
We remember our Daughters, our Sons.
Their selfless deeds have been many.
Blood’s been spilled in the sand for liberty.
Without hesitation they guarded our freedom
Over land, in the skies, on the sea.
They answered the cries of the hungry
Liberated those whom where suppressed.
Courageously they safeguarded our glory
With a loyalty that ceases to rest.
With love we pay homage to the fallen
These patriots, our heroes, our friends.
Who’ve paid the ultimate price for freedom
and the flag they chose to defend.
Their Service must never be forgotten
Their deaths won’t ever be in vain
We vow to look after their families
and hope our love will ease their pain.
This flag is to honor the fallen
As a reminder Freedom is not Free
These heroes gave their lives for their Country
They gave their lives for you and for me.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Sgt. Frank J. Gasper. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your son was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with
you always. He will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Frank.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

| Our heart felt condolences to the Gasper family and friends in the loss of Frank. Thank you for his service to this great country. Our prayers go out to God for you in this time of loss. Frank served to give us the freedom we now enjoy so much and for that he is one of the GREAT AMERICAN HEROS of the land. God bless your family and friends. Wish I could have shaken his hand and told him thank you myself. God tells us that “Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13) As Christ our Lord laid down His life for us that believe in Him for salvation, so your love one has laid down his life for us for our freedom. This act has made him a Super Hero in my heart and I thank-you deeply for this sacrifice made for our freedoms. I pray that God will now bless your lives and help you see how great a thing this is which your loved one has done. The FALLEN MILITARY MEMBER has shown this country his greatest love for country and friends |
