I knew Frank and Joe Mosley. We all attended Du Bois High School. Joe was in my class of 1954 but Frank was ahead of me. However, they came from a loving family and lived up to the standards instilled in us by our beloved teachers. Frank was a true disciple of our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST! Erskine Agee

My family arrived at the Greenbrier yesterday and I/we were devastated to hear about the passing of Mr. Frank. I was so looking forward to introducing him to my newest grand, 16 month old Alegra. Mr. Frank over the years had met pretty much my entire family, including my Mom, who is 96. I/we will miss his hugs, wonderful smile and welcoming disposition. Prayerfully his spirit will always be felt here at The Greenbrier and others will learn from his wonderful example.

Mr. Frank came to White Sulphur Springs when I was about 5 years old. His steadfast work ethic demonstrated his integrity, reliability, and consistency. He always respected all people and treated them with kindness and love. And then there was that big smile! Mr. Frank showed that the true measure of a man is determined by his Christ-likeness. Praise God for his life and the legacy he left behind. He will be missed. Until I see that big smile again, rest Mr. Frank. Love always, Teresa Sending my sincerest condolences to the Mosley family.
