Thanks for all of your support and condolences. He was my favorite papa & I do miss him very much. I remember all the times cuddling with him on the couch and sitting in the hospital with him when I broke my wrist the 1st time. It's still hard to believe that he is gone even after all this time.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. "Frano" was always a jovial and fun person to be around. It came as a real shock to the both of us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Frank, Sandy, Annette and Aunt Carol, we spent many of summer days with each others families and while later in life we may have gone down different paths, one thing doesn't go away and that is the wonderful memories that I have with Uncle Frank and all of you. May we keep these memories in our hearts from now until eternity.
