Dear Mary and the Julitz/Morrissey Families,
I am so sorry that I could not get to the wake or funeral Mass, but my thoughts and prayers were with you that entire time.
I have such wonderful memories of the Martinelli/Julitz families.....going way back. How blessed you are to have had Frank in your lives as husband, dad, grandpa. I am sure he gave each of you many gifts of love, kindness, and wisdom to continue living with.
I am honored to have had his friendship.

but our loved ones smiling down on us
to let us know they are happy."

To the Morrisseys, Julitz's, and numerous others touched by the life of Frank Julitz, I wish to express my deepest condolensces to all of your families. Whether it was at the summer home, on a camping trip, or on the way to a basketball game, his charm and general love of life could never be hidden, as he had an impact on all those around him. He was never short of a good joke, a great story, or a simple smile and a laugh. I'm glad I had the opportunity to be around him, as well as to see all of you when you were around him. My deepest regrets go out to all of you that have lost a husband, father, grandfather, and so much more. His charm and cheer will surely be missed.
