Frankie you were always such a gentle soul & I will miss you dearly. I have many fond memories of you growing up & grown up. One if my favorites is sitting in your mom's kitchen along with Barb who was giving us candy cigarettes to "smoke" (just before we left for Germany)! Rest in Peace Cousin & we will meet again one day. Love you.
