Dear Doris, Carolyn, Frankie and Paul ... It's been a long time since we've all been in touch, but when I saw Frank's obit ... it all came back to me in a rush of memories... Your welcoming, wonderful family ... your incredible togetherness ...Your wild & wacky house parties... (particularly the BiCentennial Bash!) ... all the community theatre "nonsense" ... the outgoing and nurturing love you shared with all of us... and Frank was always in the middle of everything and giddy with happiness. Being with your "gang" was always a joy and invitations to be a part of the Piatek circle were always treasured. Thank you and Frank for all the good times and may your memories of him be of that happy, loving, hugging family man
who so adored you all. My sincere and heartfelt sympathy is sent along with my thoughts and prayers. Love,

To my cousins Paul, Carolyn and Frank and especially Doris:
May you appreciate that all the time and loving care you gave to Frank in his last years was a return on the investment of love that he made in you over a lifetime. You're sitting on a fortune. With All My Love, Judy
