21 May Edward James Frank

Edward James Frank, beloved son of Timothy and Rachel and brother of Eleanor and Emmelin, was born on May 17, 2021. He was held in the arms of his parents and his family for six beautiful hours before he went to heaven. During his brief time everyone marveled at how precious he was and showered him with love.

Edward’s life will be celebrated with a Mass of Christian Burial at Cathedral of the Holy Spirit Church, Bismarck, Thursday, May 27, 2021 at 10:00 AM, burial will follow at St Mary’s Cemetery.

Edward was loved and cherished every day of the 37 weeks his mother carried him.  He was strong and kept fighting, defying all odds to meet his family. Each life is precious and every second of it a blessing. Trisomy 13 only deepened his impact on our lives and his presence will be with us every day.

Edward is survived by his parents and sisters, Grandpa and Grandma Frank and Grandpa and Grandma Burckhard, his aunts, uncles and cousins.
