Hi Honey I can't believe it's been a year already. It seems like only yesterday. I miss you so much & the days are lonely without you. I'm just waiting for the day to be with you once again. My life was over the day you left. I don't enjoy the holidays as much as when we were together,they have no meaning or hold no joy for me anymore. Sorry if I sound sad but hopefully Nick can come home & change my feelings for the holidays. I wish you could be here to see that day. We miss & love you so much. Franks takes care of your grass & house and is pretty good at it. Memorial days next Monday & I'll be missing you more. If you get a chance say Hi to John for me & tell him we love him too. I hope you tell my mom & dad I miss & love them too as I do Laura,Sylvia,Daniel,Norman & all our family members who have left us. All my love forever till I can be with you once again. As you would say I love you more. You loving wife always. Cindy.

Ma, me, and Rudy sang you happy birthday bro, love you

Dearest Darling miss you so much. Everywhere I look or go reminds me of you. I'm so lonely some days are really bad. But the nights are the worst. I wish I was with you. Duke sleeps on your side of the bed & I can't close our bedroom door. If I do he cries till I open it. He thinks your in there. Sometimes I pretend you are. I love you more as always and want you to know your mom does too. She's hartbroken like me. You were my Frank & always will be. Oh by the way today's Alicia's b-day. Your girls miss you too. Xoxoxo

My heart is so heavy with grief. Uncle Frank will forever hold a special place in our hearts. He is deeply loved and will be greatly missed. I will always remember Uncle Frank's handsome, charming smile and funny laughter. Precious memories of him will get us through the sad times. We were truly blessed to have such a wonderful uncle. Thank you auntie Cindy, for loving such a good man. He has brought much happiness to everyone. I can only hope to bring as much happiness into the lives of others as much as Uncle Frank.

All our love, The Kaczmarek Family. Xoxo

I only saw Frank at Funerals and he was my cousins Husband. That is how I knew him. He was always pleasant and friendly and had a smile to give. After reading the memories his friends and family have left I wished I could of gotten to know him better. To bad life only allows so much time to each person. We don't get to be everywhere and really get to know everyone in our families. Cindy I am so sorry you have lost your partner in life. Stay strong and surround yourself with good hearted family and friends.
Our Prayers are with you!
