   Oh, he was cute as a button, wasn’t he?

   And tough as nuts.

   What a grand old gentleman. Sweet dreams, Frank.

   O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest,
   look kindly on this departed veteran who lived his
   life in the service of his country. Grant that through the passion, death, and resurrection of your Son
   he may share in the joy of your heavenly kingdom
   and rejoice in you with your saints forever.
   We ask this through Christ our Lord.
