To all of Frank’s beloved family in heaven,

Yesterday, Frank’s soul took flight on the wings he so fully earned, and he is now home—right where he longed to be—beside you. His prayers have been answered, his journey complete, and I can only imagine the joy of your embrace as you welcomed him into the warmth of your arms.

For the last twenty years, he sent his love to heaven in whispered prayers and quiet moments, and now those messages have become his presence. I hope you greeted him with the same laughter, tenderness, and love that he shared so generously with us here on earth.

Though we feel the weight of his absence, we know his spirit will never leave us. He will be the gentle nudge, the quiet comfort, and the unseen hand guiding us forward.

We will love him for all our days, and carry his light until we see him again.

With endless love, always.

Frank

Merry Christmas to all of you!
Dear Mom, Pop, Dom and Louise,
Grace and I put wreaths on your graves last week. It was nice not to have any snow and it has been very mild. All of the shopping, baking and wrapping are done and we are tired. Frank and Ashley will come for Christmas Eve dinner tomorrow and we will all go to Kim's for Christmas dinner. Looking forward to all of it. The only thing that could make it better is if you were all here. I love and miss you all. Please keep our families in your prayers and we will keep you in ours.
MERRY CHRISTMAS with all my love,

Frank

HAPPY THANKSGIVING my darlings,
I miss you all but more so on this holiday. It was a simple day for us. Just the two of us as Frank and Ashley went to Long Island to spend the holiday with Ashley's family and Kim and Doug had his family for dinner. We were invited but we just wanted to spend a quiet day. We had a fine turkey dinner with all the trimmings and we remembered the wonderful Thanksgivings we had with all of you. Thank you for the wonderful memories. I turned 67 this year and I feel every year of that. May God bless you all. We will keep you in our prayers and we will keep you in ours. Please pray for our health as that is the most important thing in the world.
All my love to you,

Frank

Dear Mom, Pop, Dom and Louise,
Happy New Year and a Blessed Epiphany!
I love and miss you all. We went out with Al and Judy to the Elks and we had a great time. The food was good and so was the music but by midnight we were ready to go home. I can remember all the New Years parties we went to and all the fun we had.
It is with sadness that I tell you of the passing of Micheal Russo. He died on the 3rd. I was sorry to see him pass.

Please keep us in your prayers and please pray for our health.

Love you all forever,

Frank

Dear Mom,Pop,Dom and Louise,
A Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I miss you all so much especially at this time of year. We had dinner at Frank and Ashley's this year and it was very nice. Seemed weird not to be cooking a turkey dinner.
I know I haven't written as much as I have in the past but it is not because I love you any less. Days just seems to go by the older I get. We will keep you all in our prayers. Please pray for our good health because nothing else is so important. A belated Happy Anniversary to you Mom and Dad.

Love you all
