To My Dearest Lash Family- I had the honor of sharing 24 years of my life around Dad Lash. I could always walk in the house and he would always say "HI BABE!" I will never forget that. Not to mention his words of wisdom, encouragement, and yes discipline throughout the years. To my bestest friend Debbie, you know I will always be here for you and I'm so sorry your heart is hurting, you know I'd do anything to take this pain away, but you know the Lord above has better plans for him now. I know how close you were to him and it won't be the same without him. Just remember he will always watch over you!!! I love you all and you're truly "my family".

My heartfelt condolences to your loss. Frank was such a wonderful person! He always had a great smile on his face and was a just a joy to be around. The Post office wasn't as much to go in for stamps after he retired. And the wonderful perogies he used to make-MMMM..and his music. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure to know him. My the peace of God be with all of you!

We had the true pleasure of growing up with the Lash Family. Such wonderful friends! I remember how Mr. Lash was always tolerable of us kids running in and out all summer long. The Kent Family Prayers will be with the Lash Family during this time grieving. Mr. Lash has gone on to a better place where he will always be watching down on us all. God Bless!

Carol, Frank, Karen.....I am very sorry to hear of Franks passing. I have many fond memories that included Frank from the old neighborhood and even more from our early days at the ball park. My prayer is for God to comfort your family through this very difficult time and may your husband and fathers memory last forever. South Haven will miss him.

Carol, with deep sympathy, we will be out of town this weekend attending our sons college graduation in Florida, but we remember Frank, playing his accordian at cursillos, and I will also remember his help in the kitchen. We'll pray a rosary for him, but I know he's w/all the other cursillitas who have gone before us. Love, Andy and Mary Muday

Thanks for your kind words of dad. I had heard from Frank about the loss of your father. Please let the family know our prayers and thoughts are with your family. I have heard that the pain we feel isn't pain at all, just numb. I will remember your dads great smile and kindness, as he always asked how my folks were doing. Also how he could pitch a softball, the tallest arch I have ever seen, and to watch any and all to try and hit it.

Was saddened to hear of the passing of a good friend. We were in Seattle when we heard the news and wished we could have been there to offer some comfort to Carol and the family. Frank was a very kind, thoughful, loving person and we will miss him. We will miss his accordion playing, top notch pierogis and faithful friendship. Frank, it was an honor to have you as a friend ....and keep the Lord entertained with your music and pierogis. Our prayers, thoughts, and happy memories are with you

Frank's legacy will live on.... a very kind man with a wonderful family. I had the pleasure of playing church league basketball and city league softball many years ago with Frank.I got to know the guy with all those little kids...running around the ballpark..they were everywhere.It brings back some very good memories.He was a competitor yet always a great sport..and a great fan of sports..a quality he has passed along to his kids and grandkids....some talented athletes in this bunch....lots of young "happy notes" too...

To all the Lash family members - I am very very sad that Frank has left us. He was always a big help to me on the the ball field and in life. I never considered him as an elder but more as one of the guys. South Haven is less of a place without him. However, his family is a shining example of his huge heart and home town values. My deepest sympathies.
