Aurie,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm so glad I was able to meet him last year; the two of you looked like newlyweds.
Peace and love will be with you forever.

I have fond memories of working with Frank. He always brought peace and calmness to whatever was going on. That and his bright smile made it a blessing to be around him. You are in my prayers.

Aurora and Ryan,
Francisco is one of the best men we have ever known. He exuded warmth and kindness always. He was forever smiling. You couldn't help but notice his positive outlook on life. Cisco was one of those rare people who made the world a better place by just being in it. You know, it's fitting that he was lifted up by angels; because while he was here among us, he always was one.
Friends always,
Max,Julie and Maddie Witthuhn

Dear Aurora & Ryan,
Francisco attended the monthly Brain Tumor Networking Group at The Wellness Community/Cancer Support Community in Redondo Beach. He let us call him Cisco and he became a friend and an inspiration to everyone.
He often shared about his loving family and his hope for a long life.
We will miss him and continue to enjoy his gentle spirit.

Mrs. Martinez, I met you and Francisco a year and a half ago during the Friday Stations of the Cross. My nephew was newly diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. I remember Francisco's comforting words.....and thought what a truly amazing man as he shared his own story. I am very sorry for your loss and know you find comfort knowing he is in heaven. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Aurora and Ryan,
Throughout the years Frank has always been a very important person in my life. After we moved up to Northern California we didnt talk as much however when we did it was like I had never left.
I am sorry for your loss and I know Frank will be watching over you always.
Much love, Brenda

Mrs. Martinez, I had the pleasure of working with Frank a few years back while at Prism Processing along with Brenda Pacheco and although he wasn't there for very long, the little time I got to speak to him and get to know him I knew right away he was one of the good guys. There is not an ounce of doubt in my mind that it was angels that came on that 15th day of October, 2010. I am sorry for your loss, may he always be with you in spirit and in thought.

Aurora & family... so sorry to hear about your loss. I met Frank briefly at the reunion and he seemed like such a good guy. But even in this time of bereavement, at least you know that he's free from suffering the painful effects of cancer. I hope you can find some peace & comfort in that...
