Oh, Frankie :( I am heartbroken to find this. I was hoping one day, I would be able to find you and see you had done wonderful things with your life. I am so sorry to hear about this loss, and will keep your son and his mother in my prayers, as well as the rest of your family. But especially your son. I know how hard it is to lose a parent and cannot even imagine his pain. You were my first love, and man do we have some crazy memories, both good and bad. I will be sure to only remember the good moving forward. You'll always have a piece of my heart. I cannot believe this was a little less than two years after I last talked to you, and it's been over ten years. Heartbroken.

Frankie I've been thinking about u a lot lately.. I'm making a big move back to Michigan like we talked about years ago an I'm really scared.. I came to ur grave a couple months ago an sat an talked with u an cried an laughed just like u were sitting there.. It's been almost 8 years an I still can't hear ur name with out tears running down my cheeks.. I honestly feel in my heart that God gave u back to me after all those years of not seeing u..he wanted me to have that week with u before u left for Delaware to remember u by.. If that was really his plan Then I'll go the rest of my life thanking God an the Angels that we spent that special time together! That was the happiest I had been in years! When ever someone brings up the love of their life story or "the one that got away" ur the one I think of an will always think of! Our memories r forever tattooed on my heart an ill see u again! I love u

To the Rich family and friends, I send out my deepest sympathy to you. Frankie was just so full of life when i saw him. He always found some way to make me laugh, even when i wasnt in the mood. Between him, eric, and nicky i could never stop laughing. i still have those "blackmail" pictures Frankie!! ha. but, I will always think of you and will always miss you. Save me a place up there. ~God Bless~

It's been about a year since i've last seen Frank. But he was a great guy to know. We always joked around and laughed about everything. Although it's been years since we've hung out, I have great memories from the times when we did. Nicki and Eric, I'm sorry about the loss of your brother. Lori, Best wishes through this rough time and the best of luck with your grandson. Frankie will be deeply missed by all.

I met Frankie when he first arrived in Delaware. He was so happy and smiling. Within the first few minutes of meeting Frankie he could not stop talking about his baby. Frankie was a proud father and loved to show off the pictures that he had. I only knew Frankie for a short time, but he was unforgettable. I could not believe the news when I heard. Frankie, you and your family our in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace precious young man.
