I remember Frank arriving at the farm in Southland in his carmine red Model A Ford!
And I was present at Margaret and Frank's wedding at First Church, Tay St, Invercargill.
Then at Elmwood Studio we had a sumptuous meal.
But my most vivid memory is of the ride when Frank took us all over the sand hills in the Model A at Oreti Beach!
After they were married, I remember trips on the steam train to Clinton.
Dear Frank, thankyou for being a great family member. On behalf of the McDonald family, rest in peace.
Your sister in law,
Linda

To the Aldridge family
Sorry to hear of Frank, but what a long life he has had. I remember him from many years back. Playing cricket with him at Wairuna. He helping us at shearing time. Us milking your cows when you went on holiday, or vice versa. Him looking after our place when we were away. Many wonderful memories. Then of course, being on Seassion together at Clinton and other church activities. We are grateful to God and Frank who had unwavering faith and who was a strong pillar in the church.
We trust that God will grant you all peace and comfort that goes beyond all understanding.
Kindest Regards to you all
Mervyn & Judy Mitchell
p.s. I'll try to watch it online. Got family down from NI at the moment
