My Dearest Uncle Frank,

It is with a sad heart that I write this letter to you, for on March 6th, you left for Heaven. You have been an inspiration to me my entire life. What I loved about you most, is how you loved your family. You always kept God in your life and no matter how hard times were, you knew He would see you through.

Today was a beautiful service for you. The church was filled with so many people that loved you very much. And your children gave you a beautiful eulogy. The words that were spoken reflected the love and respect Jodi and Steven have for you. It was a beautiful tribute to a loving father.

Thank you again for being the best uncle ever. I will miss you with all my heart.
Your loving niece,
Mary Jane
