Papa, Thank you for all that you have done throughout your life not just for our family, but other families as well. Whether it was a kind word, or a helping hand, you touched so many peoples lives and are one of a kind. I am so thankful of all the times we had together, from friday night card games while mom and dad went grocery shopping,being "the boss" at the family turkey bowl game, all the loving birthday and christmas cards, and spending time at the lake with us. You will always hold a special place in my heart and the lessons you taught through your actions, will carry on with me forever. I love you pal and will miss you.

Is this the same Frank and Irene who held ceramics classes in their basement? Its been nearly 20 years but I still have all of the beautiful pieces that they helped me to create. I remember Frank was always there to help Irene. They had a daschund dog I believe. There is a story I would like to share....it was a snowy winter evening during one of our classes and Irene told us that Frank witnessed an elderly man collapsing after shoveling in the alley. The man died right there and Frank kissed him on the forehead. He was a complete stranger to Frank. That touched all of us that day. What a wonderful gentle man! In my thoughts, I am sending Frank a kiss on his forehead right now. God bless you Frank!

Love Mary

Dad: I love and miss you so much. Thank you for all the love and support you have always given me. I am so thankful for all the time we spent together in Indiana. I know how much you loved it there. You are the best man I will ever know. Always a kind word to say and always willing to help. I will miss your rosey face and your cute smile. You are with mom now so I am happy for both of you. Give her a kiss for me and tell her how much I love her. We now have 2 special angels watching over us. You will live with mom forever in my heart. God Bless you Daddy.
