I already thought of Frank as my "father-in-law," and I know he was happy that his son and I had ironically gotten together (he was even there the day that we met). My father says it was a dream come true for both of them, if they couldn't be family through blood, they'd be bonded through us. I will forever cherish being witness to seeing the big smile on his face everytime he saw his son.



Frank, I know you are smiling down on us from heaven and I vow to maintain the promises you'd asked me to keep: 1) "be nice to my son; take care of him" and 2) "teach my son spanish." I promise to you he'll always smile as you did, and before we know it, él va a hablar español fluido!



I am proud and glad to have known you or of you throughout my entire life. You gave this world many smiles, and laughs and two of the greatest things this world has to offer, your children - Yolanda and Frank. God bless the both of them. I hope they both know that you loved and cherished them and were proud that they were your children.

Uncle Frank will be missed. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Frank, Yolanda, Isabelle, Elmer and all of his grandchildren. The Lord always takes the good ones to soon, he must have needed some laughs. And we all know Uncle Frank could make anyone laugh. Tom has so many fond memories of his uncle and will cherish them forever. He will never be forgotten. God Bless the entire Gomez Family.



With Love, Tom, Tina, Vincent, Delia, Madalene, Hilary and Willie

We all know Tio Frank is in a better place and you know Tio is smiling. What better gift can you give, a smile. Doesn't cost a thing. When I think of Tio Frank I smile and I'm sure there are others who feel the same way. A gift that keeps on giving. Thanks Tio

My deepest condolences to all of Frank's family. Frank was a dear friend to my dad,uncles, husband and children. He loved to joke around with my children when ever he was around. He always took a minute to listen to one of their silly jokes or stories. He will be greatly missed.

Dad, we are proud and happy that you are "Safely Home." Learning from both your mistakes and accomplishments, ultimately you still made me a better Dad. I know I stayed in your thoughts and that means a lot to me. I'm glad Frankie was able to meet Poe Willy. I'll make sure he is the happiest boy he can be - filled with love and surrounded by family. I'm happy to know that you can "Get Down" now that you don't need that cane anymore. Love you Dad!

I will always cherish every moment I had with my Dad. Talking to him 5 hours before he passed he told me he was watching a preacher on tv and he got the message loud and clear "Our time on earth is short and I have alot of work to do" that was his words. He wanted everyone to know how good Jesus was to him and wanted everyone to follow him to heaven. If there is one message he would have to say, it would be ask Jesus into your heart. He decided that was his purpose in his new life he made. I will miss his silly ways, his beautiful dimples but I am comforting in knowing that I will see him again.

We will all miss uncle Frank. He was just beginning to "live again", so to speak, and he was thrown a curve ball. God Bless you Yolanda and Frank Jr.

Frank was a good friend and a part of our entire family. We had just spoke about his new addiction, the internet, he was so happy to be attending computer classes at Olive Harvey. He will be truly missed.
