To the whole family:
I'm very sorry for everyone's loss of Uncle Frank. I've lived in Alabama now for the last 8 years and I've lost touch with the family now for many years. My father Sal now lives in Las Vegas, next door to my sister Michelle. I accidentally stumbled across this obituary today on the internet and was shocked, so I felt that I should write to say I'm truly sorry for your loss and that I miss everyone. I hope one day to see you all again and I pray that you find comfort and peace in these hard times.

I know God was holding a special place for you in his mighty kingdom where you will suffer no more and we will all join you when our time comes.We feel very blessed that we were able to spend that very special day with you. It meant so much to your cousin and he will never forget it. God Bless you Frank and keep you in his care until we meet again.

To my loving brother Frank:
Your're illness was brief, and we are all going to miss you forever. I thank God that we had some time to spend together as a family before you left us to be with your other brothers. You were the hardest working man I ever knew. Even after you were hurt a year ago, you bounced right back up to go to work with a bad hand. Your're generous kind nature towards everyone around you was incredible. Come to think of it, I never heard you say, "No, I can't give you a hand." I hope you play a few songs with Jimmy.
May God Bless you and embrace you. You deserve to be in heaven Frank.
Your Loving Sister
