Guest Book

Today we are all celebrate the life Frank Bauman. We are there in spirit with you. We pray for his family and pray that God will hold you close in the coming days.

So sorry for your loss. Frank was a good neighbor.
~ Sue VanderMay Kadoka (11/6/2019)

Frank was a godly man who leaves a godly heritage. It is as Solomon says, " The memory of the righteous is a blessing..." Proverbs 10:7 He would be the first to acknowledge that he was saved entirely by grace and the only way he could live the Christian life was by the sustaining power of the living Christ.
Frank was a man who was more interested in laying up his treasure in heaven than he was in laying up his treasure on earth. "Well done good and faithful servant."

Dear Bauman Family, we are saddened by loss of your father and my uncle 'Frankie.' My dad (Dale Humphrey, brother of aunt Myrth) took me as a child to visit at their ranch. I have fond memories of of him being a towering kind figure to me as a child from so long ago. Please except our condolences.
God be with you and your family
Mr. and Mrs. Dale Humphrey Jr.
