Samuel Howard Franklin

Rachel Lillian Franklin

Many years ago, the Lord saw fit to take our third child, Samuel Howard or Rachel Lillian, home to be with Him (miscarriage). We do not know the sex of this beloved child, since he/she was taken from us so early. We wanted to insure he/she was remembered, so this page was set up to speak for him/her. Howard was the name of Katrina's brother (also taken to the Lord while young) and Wayne's maternal grandfather. Lillian was the name of Wayne's maternal grandmother. Samuel/Rachel is named in their honor. We look forward to meeting and being with our child when we're together with the Lord.

We also wish to honor all those innocent children who have gone home to be with our Father in heaven. We'd like to take this opportunity to do so for all those children who lost their lives by man's hand, most notably through "abortion". They had and have no one to speak for them, but the Lord, so while we grieve their all-too-short lives, we rejoice knowing they have everlasting life with the Lord.
