Frankie what a beautiful person you were to everyone. You made people smile, laugh and enjoy every minute they were with you. My son got to meet your brother the other day and he knew who my friend Frankie was when I told him Joey was your brother. I reminded Joe how he used to pick on me but you were always so kind. I remember your voice, your smile but most of all I remember your big heart. I miss you and will always keep your memory alive. Send me some angel kisses. It has been too long . Love you always your friend Ro

Miss you little brother! There are times I want to have a conversation with you and tell you how life has changed. We are all grown and have kids. My kids know about you and always bring up the time I smashed the mini bike with you on back. They know your character and charisma. They say your name and make the sign of the cross when we pass by.

As I look at your picture in my living room, I smile and cry at the same time. My life has taken a dramatic turn since you left. I feel so alone. I'm in pain everyday but I must go on. I wish you were here cuz I know in my heart you would visit. We always had a special bond. Put in a good word to God for me, I put it in his hands every day to give me a break. I know God only gives you what you can handle but really? I'm sure you're all having a great time up there I miss you and Papa so much. I love you always. Till we meet again....

My Dearest Frankie,
It's coming upon that time of year. Unfortunately, I relive it, as if it was yesterday. My life is forever changed. Though, I have comfort knowing I have a guardian angel watching over me and my family. I know my boys miss you terribly, we all do. You will forever be a part of us, and I keep Amber and Noah in my thoughts and prayers, always. I miss you, and love you!!!!!!!! Always, Aunt Ro

Hey Frankie!
We miss you as always. A couple weeks ago I saw your brother, mom and dad, nana, aunt Ro, and Auntie Gina. We were talking through the web cam , it was so great to see everyone. You should see the kids ( I'm sure you do) So big and all so gorgeous. Well I'm just sitting here at work, was thinking about you and wanted to let you know I still think about you often. I miss you so much and love you lots. Say hi to my Gram for me. :-)

December 6, 2009

Frankie,
Today we are celebrating nana's 75th birthday and the day should be almost perfect, but one thing will be missing YOU!!! I know you will be with us in spirit and for sure in our hearts but it is just not the same. When we get together we laugh and have a good time, but there is a void like something is missing. We miss your smile and the way you used to joke around and make everyone laugh - you had a gift and we all loved it!!! I miss you and love you - oh and try to stop by today we all could use a sign!!

Love,
Aunt Gina

November 3, 2009

Hey Frankis,
I noticed it's been a couple of weeks since anybody has left a message. So you've still been pretty busy. I guess that's to keep you from being worried. I know, no worries. Kind of funny how things worked out and you thought that they never would. No more feeling lost and not knowing where you were headed. You found it!! Unfortunate for us (sorry for being selfish) GOOD FOR YOU!! I'm GLAD you're finally HAPPY and st PEACE with EVERYTHING!!

TALK WITH YOU SOON!!

October 7, 2009

Hey,
There are so many stories I wish I could tell you from this past year but I know that you know about them somehow. It hurts me to know that you probably wouldn't be too proud of the choices I've been making lately. But I know that you wouldn't judge me and I really wish you were here to help and guide me. And I know that's not going to happen so I can only hope for the day I'll see you again. I love ya frankie

September 24, 2009

Hey Koots just needed to write u. These last few months have been really hard for me and Krystl as u already know. There are times when I just want to pick up the phone and talk to u, because u always knew the right things to say. Even if u didn't have the right things to say u would make me laugh some how and cheer me up. Well I miss u and love u and please watch over me.

luv ur bro

Hey Frankie, time is passing so fast I can't even believe it will be five years since you left us. My life has not been the same. I miss you dearly and probably always will for you were my heart. I still believe your passing was not in vain, you saved your cousins and for that you are an angel. My boys really looked up to you and Joey and learned so much about life, love, and family and for that I want to thank you. Love you and miss you. Always, Aunt Ro

Hey Frankie, I can't believe it's been over four years...I still miss you. Some things have changed as I'm sure you know, I had a little boy, named him Anthony. He's a funny kid, I think you would have liked him. Anyways, I had a dream about you the other night, and when I woke up I felt a sense of peace, so thanks! By the way, you looked great, huge smile...like always! So thanks again Frankie for checking in on me, love you!!!

Mom Forever

July 14, 2008

My Dearest Beautiful Son,
I thought since this year will be 4 years that you were called home and that your pager number at the restaurant was number 4. that this was a sign to send you this message now. I want you to know that I have never asked God why, not even to this day and never will why he called you home. I believe in my heart that your job here on earth was over and it was time for you to return home. Now, do not get me wrong, I do not like this one bit and never will.
But he is our Father and I trust in him and believe in him and know he had his reasons.
Everything you wanted for me came true and in my heart I know it was you all this time chasing after him and bugging him and with that charming personality how could he say no. Thank you for all that hard work and for all your love. God gave me the greatest gifts in the whole world, he gave me you and Joey. I could not want for more. I know that you are waiting for me and I know you will be there when it"s my time. I miss you so much and I know you feel the same. Until then, I will be hanging out with Joey and Daddy keeping them inline, you know someone has to. Please look for a beautiful home for me with 3 to 4 bedrooms, not to big of a backyard since you know I am not the outdoorsy type, nice kitchen and refrigerator so I can buy you your cookie dough ice cream. P.S. I am still jamming to the Doors and the Nine inch Nails concert was cool, thanks for taking me. Got to go, talk to you later.
Love Your Mom Forever XOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO I would also like to take this time to send my deepest and sincere thanks to the generous Mancari Family who have sponsored Frankie"s guest book all these years.

Dear Frankie,
There is a new movie coming out called One More Day. That's what I wish for, just one more day with you. My life has changed so much since you left, I miss you all the time, some days my heart aches so much. Today we are going by nana, you will be missed, but you know we will talk about the times we had with you. I know you are happier and out of pain, so for that I am thankful. I will always love you. Aunt Ro

Rosann Verone

July 22, 2007

Well Frankie, it's been three years. We came to see you at the cemetary, stayed awhile, cried alot. It seems every july 14th, we will always relive with pain and agony. They say it gets easier, not for me. My heart will always be broken, it's just part of my being now. Am I being selfish for wanting you here with us, no, I just hate living with this pain. I know you are happy and your fight is over, so for that I am glad. I know you were taken so that all your cousins would be safe, because you are their angel. You look over them now, like you did when you were here. I am started to ramble on, so I guess, I will say goodbye for now. I miss you and love you, always, Aunt Ro

Hey Frankie-
wow. I can't believe it's been 3 years since you've passed away. I'm so sorry I couldn't come visit you yesterday, but the next time we go to nana and papa's my dad said that we're gonna come visit you. I can tell my Dad really misses you, everyone does. The pain doesn't get any easier, you just get used to it. I love you so much! --Lisa Marie xoxo

Dear Frankie,
It's almost been 3 years since you left us and we think about you everyday. We still feel the pain as if it was yesterday, but we know that you're at peace and that makes us happy. The pain doesn't get any easier as time goes by because each day you're gone reality sets in deeper and tells us that you're not coming back. We love, miss, and can't wait to see you again.
Love always,
Nana & Papa

Hi Franklin!

We will always be close even though your not here with us I know you are around. I miss you more than words. Love you, Nic

Dear Frankie,
Happy Birthday, wished I could have called instead of writing in this guest book. Miss you dearly, seems like yesterday when my heart was broken, the pain still exists. Frankie, we need you to watch over the family, and gives us some light, some hope. You are our angel, need to feel your presence and warmth. Wish we could. You are in my heart and prayers forever. I love you,
Always, Aunt Ro

Frankie, I can't believe we are already in 2007! It has been 2 and a half years since you went to a better place. Your birthday is coming up and you would have been 26, wow make sure you celebrate the beginning of spring for me. I came to see you today. It was a couple anniversaries for my family which makes it tough but I never go in the cemetary any more without coming to see you. Frank you will always be in my heart, you touched that spot a long long time ago. I know you are much happier now but I really miss you and I hope you listen when I talk to you because now sometimes I need your help. Well I know you know I am going to be an Aunt soon. How awesome.. Eventhough I wish you were here I still know you watch over everyone and your taking care of all of us. I saw Auntie Ro at the airport and it was like a big hug from you. Thanks Frank I needed that and thanks for taking care of Sarah, I know she's in good hands. Love you and miss. Enjoy everyone and everything and Happy Birthday. Love your old but good friend, Ro

Rosann Verone

December 9, 2006

Yeah, I know it's been awhile and the pain should have lessened. Well, Frankie, it hasn't. Not a day goes by without me thinking of you and missing you. My life has foverer changed, sometimes I can't even feel anymore. I still cry, maybe not every day like before, the tears are my sadness and my loneliness. This time of year is hard for the family, we miss you and that smile. You are always in our hearts and our love for you will never die. Love you always,
Aunt Ro

Frank,
Sorry I haven't been to visit you lately but I promise I will come and have one of our "talks". I carry you with me all the time and it is amazing how many lives you touched. Frank my mom is having surgery on Monday and I am really scared so can you please watch over her and make sure she is okay. Thanks Frank I know I could count on you when I need you. I am preparing to take my Law Exam, I dont need help with that but I could hear you now telling me that I will use my "big mouth" for something usefull. I hope I make you proud as a friend because each day your gone makes me appreciate life more and I am living it the best way I know how. Frankie do a screening for me up there, I met this guy and think he's great but a little unsure, give him the stamp of approval and I will know he is good.Thanks Frank eventhough I am older than you it seemed like I had 4 brothers instead of 2 because you were always watching out for me with Joey. If I never thanked you for that I am sorry but I am thanking you now from the bottom of my heart. I love you and am glad I had the opportunity to be a part of your life and you a part of mine. Love your girl, Ro

Dear Frankie,

This week has been pretty rough with a lot of deaths and it just makes me miss you even more. It's terrible that all these young people are being taken away from us and it just makes me worry more for all my cousins, because now i know that ANYTHING is possible. Just please do me a favor and watch over all the cousins and family members, please. Because I don't think I could handle it if one more was taken away from us. You've been gone 2 years now and I can remember that day that you passed away like it was yesterday, and I probably will for the rest of my life. You were such a terrific cousin. You loved everyone of us from your heart all the way down to Mia. I'll never forget how you always remembered to give me a hug and a kiss and i thank you for that.

Love always,

Lisa Marie

What up Koots. Well its been two years now and everyone I talk to still says to me "man I miss that guy". They say "he always made me laugh and was a great person to be around". We all have memories of people in different ways. When your gone people always want to remember the good times that we had with that person. Anybody who knew you knew that you were the "life of the party" or the "funny guy". I never met a person like you or I doubt I ever will. You will always be in my heart and the heart of everyone.

Aggie LaMontagna

July 16, 2006

Frankie, I think about you often, not just the day you left us,but often. Its hard whenever you lose someone, but what carry's me through, are the wonderful times we had....I could picture sitting downstairs at your nana'shouse, and you walking in and yelling, "Ags". These are the times that keep me going, and these are the things that could never be taken from me,ever.I do miss you...but know you are in the best of, "COMPANY", up there...Until we meet again..your cousin, Aggie

Rosann Verone

July 15, 2006

Frankie, They say that time heals all. I don't know if that is true, because yesterday I relived the worst day of my life, that day when we lost you. Our pain has not lessened, our tears still appear, our thoughts are of you daily, still wish you were here. I remember the minister saying to us, they pain wouldn't hurt so strong if we didn't love you so much. He was right, because even after two years, the pain is still there, perhaps stronger, because missing you has become part of our life, I know my life will never be the same. My heart is broken because of this pain. I will always love you dearly, I miss your smile, your laugh, your hugs, and your love. I know you watch over us all the time, you are our guardian angel. I love you always,

Happy Birthday Frankie,

You are always in my heart and prayers. They say that time heals all, I just don't know. We celebrated all the birthdays on Sunday, I'm sure you were there. Thanks for giving my son hope and that great sign. I think he looks for that more than we know. I know you are always watching over everybody, thank you for that. Give us that light, Frankie, for if there is light, there is hope.

Miss you so much and love you always. Aunt Ro

Hey Frankie,

Just wanted to say hi. It's Aunt Ro's birthday today...um...I really miss you...a lot. I can't believe that it's almost gonna be 2 years since you've passed away. I love you more than words can ever say. I can't even look at your picture wihtout getting tears in my eyes anymore. Because when I see you in pictures, I just think of how you would of loved Noah and now that he can walk and say somethings. You would of been so happy with Amber and Noah...

That about wraps it up I guess. I love you and miss you dearly. You are always in my heart and will never be forgotten by me or anyone else that knew you.

Love,

*Lisa Marie*

Hey Frankie,

God I miss you more than anything. There isn't an hour that goes by that I don't think about you. Can't believe this is the second Christmas that your not here with us. People say time heals all. But nothing, not even time,can heal the missing of you-ever! I love you & I'll be visiting you this weekend.

Hi Frankie,

How are you doing? I know well, sorry I haven't been there to see you in awhile but is really hard sometimes. I hope your holidays with everyone else that I love is spent with happiness and joy and you look down on all of us and can be greatfull to be a part of all of our lives everyday. Frankie I love you and will never ever forget you. When I moved into my own house in October, I could just hear what your comment would have been about my "underground parking". I saw Mike from B.P. the other day and he really made me think of you, I miss you Frank and keep being a part of my life.

Love you and Happy New Year!

Dear Frankie,

Merry Christmas!!! I miss you so very much all of us do. You were such a tremendous presence in our lives (You still are). I miss your smile and the crazy things you would say and do. I know heaven is definitely not the same ha ha. People say the pain gets better, for me the pain is worse than last year because the shock is over and reality has finally set in and it hurts so bad. We will continue to have a toast in your honor every holiday although it seems more like every Sunday. (How did you drink that Jagermeister? I wish you drank a better drink!) I love you and miss you and I know I will see you again. Until then take care my sweetheart and keep watch I know you will.



Love, Aunt Gina

Frankie,

Not quite sure what to say, I feel so empty sometimes, your loss to me is the worst thing in my life. I can't describe the pain, I miss you so much like everybody else. Your were the light of our family, I kinda get the same feeling when Noah is around. He is a part of you for sure. Have to say this, my son Joey wrote a little tribute to you. Received it last night at football, in his interview for the pamphlet, question was who is your role model: answer is: My cousin,

He was courageous, brave, and had a good heart. He showed me great leadership. For that I say Thank You. You will always their hero. We love and miss you always. Keep sending the light.

I love you, always. Aunt Ro.....

Dear Frankie,

I want to start by saying that I love and miss you very very much! It has been a very long time since I have seen you. I hope I never forget you.My brother had his party for his first communion and you weren't there. But just because we couldn't see you, doesn't mean that you weren't there. I know that your spirit was there watching and blessing us every second we were there. Wherever you are now, I hope you are very happy. You deserve everything. I hope you get the chance to see this letter because I want you to know how much I care about you. I wish you the best forever and ever. You will always have a special place in my heart.

Love, Lisa Marie

Dear Frankie,

Happy Birthday and Buona Pasqua. I am sure you are watching while all those not with us prepare for your holiday celebrations and making everyone laugh. I was out to dinner the other night and a friend mentioned a story about you from when we were younger and it made me feel like you were still here. I know it has been eight months and by now you are taking good care of Baby Sarah but I miss you dearly and thanks for the other day in the doctors office ( I go there every week and never saw your picture and I saw it last Saturday,it was like you were saying hi.) Love you Frank and watch down on us and bless us through another holiday with you in our hearts and not arms.

Love , Ro

Frankie,

It's still so hard to believe that you are gone. Even though when I think about July 14th it feels like it was yesterday. I was by your Nana's today and we were celebrating your and your Dads' birthdays'. We all got to telling stories about you and the different times we had together. As much as it felt like old times, it was missing your color. You are irreplaceable Frankie and missed very much. Happy Birthday Franklin.

Love you, Nic

Dear Frankie,

Happy Birthday. I miss you and love you, always. You are forever in our hearts. The memories you gave us keep us alive, for we will never be the same after losing you. You brought light into everybodys life. Some of the boys were over by nana yesterday, they shared many good times with you and their stories gave us some comfort for that short period of time. We see you in our dreams and feel your presence all the time. Until we meet again, please give us the strength to endure this pain and always feel our love.

Love Always, Aunt Ro

Happy Birthday Frankie!

You are always on our minds and in our hearts. We keep you alive and with us through all the memories we have of you. You are a special part of our family and we could never forget you. You have shared so many good times with us, you have brought us such great joy and it seems like those times have carried us through. I still can't believe that you are really gone from this world, not many people can. I try not to think of you that way, it still hurts too much, I keep waiting for this to get easier, I trust it will in time.

I feel like there is so much more to say, but I will wait until we meet again and I know we will. Until then, be happy and keep watch over us, we love and miss you so much.

Love, Aunt Gina

We had such grand plans..we were gonna be the bomb. We had the craziest ideas..and now I see those ideas in clubs all over. Man I miss the things we used to do...! Even meeting up at CD Cafe up on Archer!!! Drinking Jet Tea and talking about the past weekend. Or hanging out in the Club XL parking lot from 3AM till the place opened. Man those were the days! Frankie, you are always in my heart!

Frankie, I have thought about you every day for the past six months. I miss you so much and I had you and your family in my prayers through the holiday season. I have seen Buddha a couple of times and he makes me feel like you are right there having a conversation with us. Frank you were awesome and I now know how much you can appreciate yourself for the wonderful man you were to your family and friends. The only thing I can be greatful for is now you can watch over all of your friends all of the time and we don't have to worry about you because you are in good hands. I love you Frank, miss you and will never forget you. I know you know when I come pray by you because those chimes always blow in the wind.

Love your old but good friend, Ro
