We are so sorry for your loss. May God Bless you all during this difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We only met Uncle Frank once at Zachary's Christening. I'll never forget our conversation. He was telling me about his paintings. I was very intrigued with him. I did not want him to leave. But he had to be on his way back to Long Island. He invited us to come and visit him. He was so cute and had such a gentle soul. Rest in Peace Uncle Frank.

Dear Uncle Frank, I miss you already. I miss your face lighting up when you see me, I miss you kissing both cheeks, and most especially how much you loved us. We love you too. Always, Diane
