15 years ago today you gained your wings. Sometimes it feels like just yesterday, and at times it feels like forever ago that you were here with us. You are so missed and so loved and there will NEVER be anyone like you.
Love you Frank

Another anniversary in heaven and I just can´t believe how time has just slipped away. Even though Rich consumes my grief, I still think of you and how different things would have been if you too were still here. You could´ve would´ve should´ve been the greatest Nono Abbie and Aria would´ve loved you so so much. Keep watching over our family. Let Gma, Dante, and Bree know how much we miss them. You will always have a place in my heart. Xxx ooo. Mary

?4 years ago today someone very special to me and my entire family was unfairly taken from us, I'll never forget the phone call I got that day, it changed my life forever.. I miss you more than you could ever imagine Frank, every single day... Not a day goes by that you're not a thought in my mind, and I KNOW I can speak for all of us when I say that. Like Jennifer said, you were THE missing piece to our family's puzzle! You gave us the BEST 3 step-siblings I could've ever asked for and I love them with all my heart, always will! You were the BEST step-daddy Jamie Jennifer & I could have ever dreamed of having! you'll never truly know how much we appreciated you and everything you did for us, ESPECIALLY when it comes to you LOVING mommy the way you loved her, and making her as happy as you did words could never express the love and appreciation we all have for you... I wish everyday that you were still here with us, I picture that big smile on your face, and you waving you're hands around while you're getting really serious trying to make a point! And I miss your laugh, and when you would make everyone else around you laugh just from you being you! I can't believe its been 4 years already, I'll love you and miss you forever! Keep watching over us, and keep visiting me love you step-daddy xoxox
RIP FRANK "ABBIE" ABBATIELLO?

May you stay in Gods light...

Christmas 2010

How very much you're missed
Isn't easy to explain
For, words never could convey
The sadness and the pain.

Although gone now from this life
You've left memories to treasure
That are the sweetest kind
And will softly stay forever.

At Christmastime especially
You're missed throughout each day
And all those lovely memories
Are with us, here to stay.

Merry Christmas, Frank

Year Two...
Sometimes it feels like yesterday. Sometimes just a dream. But two years have gone by and so much has changed.
Sometimes I miss you being here and I cry. And then sometimes, I am so angry at you that you are gone. Today, I am both. Today- send your children a sign, send them something, anything, to let them know you hear them. That you are always with them. Tell them know it’s ok be happy, to stop looking
back, and to look ahead to the future that is bright and forever warm as you.

Sal Abbatiello

These are the people that bow their heads for you.
This is the world screaming out for you to come home.
This is the fight for tears and pain,
that drown in the memory of your face.

It's been 2 years, how I've lasted I'll never know. It's not getting easier. I miss you and love you so much daddy. I'll continue waiting for the day you come back home.

On Father's Day Approaches: If roses grew in Heaven Lord, pick a bunch for me, place
them in our Dad's arms & tell him they're from me, Tell him that we
love & miss him, and when he turns to smile, place a kiss upon his
cheek & hold him for awhile~ because remembering him is easy we do it
everyday There's an ache within our heart that will NEVER go away.? RIP Frank/Daddy... we miss you
Love ALWAYS, Your Kids

Abbie,
Sal and I stopped by to see you last week and we left a small piece of the Yankee history with you.
I am sure you know my feelings about the Yankees winning the world series again, but I really wish you were at the game with Sal to see the Yankees win it.
I miss you more every day brother.
Love You So much !!!!!!

a year, a whole year.. there's so much i could say.
i'm in south carolina again, last year about this time i couldn't sleep something didn't feel right, hours later i did only to later wake up to having to go home 10 days early. july 19th 2008 was the day i've dreaded my whole life, i hate the fact that day came so soon. i expected so many more years with you daddy. i know for a fact if you weren't always here with me; i wouldn't have last 24 hours without you. i still can't believe i went a year without you.
so much has happened, so much has changed. i miss your voice, smile, laugh, face, you. i still want to pick up the phone to call you and tell you about my day. gosh i could go on forever, but words can't describe how much i miss you, and words can't bring you back home. words just make my thoughts readable. i love you so much daddy, and i always will.

July 13, 2009

This night, one year ago, you and June, your Mom, and girls came over for cake for Joey's birthday and you were wondering why Frankie wasn't there, but that was my fault. If I had known it would be the last time we ever saw you, I would have made sure he was home. I am so sorry for that. Your 1st Anniversary is this weekend.
A year will have passed by, and it still feels like it was just a few weeks ago you left.
A lot has happened. The only consolation we have is to believe that you are here, watching, listening. I miss you. I am not as strong as everyone thinks. This is hard.
I still cry. It breaks my heart every time I look in their eyes and see them missing you, every time I think of all you are missing or will miss. Watching Joey play baseball without you walking up behind me has been one of the most hardest. Frankie’s accident, another, and when I think about Amanda turning Sixteen next year, I really fall apart.

We had our ups and downs over the years but in the end I still consider you my brother in law. It's not supposed to happen like this.

There isn’t a single day that goes by that im not thinking about you, I don’t really write to you on here cause I never really know what to say, I know you're always watching over us so you know what’s been going on =] My cousin Anthony is town and he is staying at our house, I just really wish you were around to meet him, he was a big part of our life and so ARE you and I keep telling him that I miss you and that you were always there for us and my mom and always taking care of us and how great of a person you truly were. I MISS YOU FRANK, I really do, I LOST MY 2nd FATHER!!! and its killing me everyday, mom is doing a little better, she seems happier as time goes on but its going to take a long time, you were her love. Every time I see a mustang, a CAT machine, your truck, or even them Yankees you're the first thing to pop into my head! =) I will love you and miss you always Frank-A-Lin!!!!!!

Dear Frank,
It's hard to believe 6 months have gone by. Sometimes it feels like it's still the first few days. I just wanted to let you know that everyone seems to be alittle bit better. That some days are better than others and we all still miss you so very very much. It really will never be the same without you here. And that is the hardest part. I think about you everyday and what your missing and I'm still asking why did this happen, why are you are not here, and just why.... when we all still need you so...so... much

When I got the phone call and was told to rush to the hospital that they didn't think you would make it, I never thought you would leave me. You always told me that it took you sixteen years to get me back and you never wanted to lose me again. I haven't written until now because it was too difficult for me. I will say that I think of you all the time every day. Whether it's a song, a place, or a picture, everything brings back a memory of you. I miss you! We all miss you here at home. I made it through the holidays with the help of your family. It helps to have them with me, as in our hearts we all feel the same emptiness. I'm working hard on being happy again, I know that someday I will be. You're a hard act to follow Frank, your fun loving, caring and giving nature is one that can never be replaced. I will be thinking of you on Super Bowl Sunday. "It Must Be My Birthday!"
I'll love you forever!
Always yours,
June
