Dearest Frank, Margaret, Rosie and Kasia . . I am so sorry on the passing of your Dad. He was a wonderful, warm and caring man who loved you all so much. I used to vacation with your family at Lago Mar and remember how much he cherished every moment with you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was so saddened to hear of Frank's passing. My heart goes out to Frank, Rosie, Margaret, Kasia and all of your families. Your mom and dad were such warm and kind people. I always felt like part of the family whenever visiting Chicago. Their spirit lives on in all of you and the world is a better place because of the lives they lived. I was blessed to meet Frank and Marie and send prayers of love and comfort to all of you.

Frank, Rosie, Margaret, Kasia and families,

I am sure you are feeling a tremendous loss by the death of your dad and grandpa. It is not easy to say goodbye, especially to such a loving, fun, and honorable man. Your mom and dad were truly special people and I am glad I was able to know them and enjoy time with them. I bet they are drinking White Hen coffee together and looking down so proud on all you have become. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Emily Kathol Horner

Dear Frank, Rosie, Maggie & Kasia,
Words can't begin to express how deeply sad and sorry I am over your dad's passing. He really and truly was such a good and caring person but, I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know! We had MANY good times and ALOT of laughs over the years with both him and your mom. Our family was very lucky to have had both of them in it. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
