Dear Uncle Frankie, your beautiful spirit and warm smile will be sorely missed. You worked hard, you played hard and lived life. I will forever remember your infectious laugh and how much fun it was whenever you were around. I have always been told how much I look like you and I could not have been more blessed. God bless your soul, give Aunt Gladys a big kiss from us.

Gramps, you were more than just a grandfather to me you were like a second father. Words cannot describe how much I will miss you. I am lucky to of spent as much time with you as I did from the last year and a half you were just down the stairs from me, or you only living down the street from me all my life, to when we went on vacations together, and to all the other times we spent together. Love you and miss you. RIP Gramps 3/28/24-3/29/12
