Uncle Frank was a kind, sweet man, my mother's favorite brother growing up (because he was quiet and kind I think). John’s eulogy of his dad and Jane’s reading as well as the stories of the grandchildren, nieces, nephews and neighbors (as well as Aunt Jeanne) allowed us all to see Uncle Frank as a wonderful, well rounded and loving man. It was wonderful to have the entire family gather to send him off. He looked so at peace. I know it is hard on Aunt Jeanne and all the children but I know Uncle Frank is happy gardening someplace.

A kind neighbor and a very thoughtful man. A man full of spirit and commitment. Each time I look towards his garden my family will always think of Frank's commitment to growing something beautiful and meaningful!
