I am going across the bridge right now. I have thought about it a lot. Frank taught me how to shoot a 357 in GG Park. He raced around the city with the prettiest ladies but was always there for a brother. He told me I was cool in a 1980s sunset that was very hostile. What a cool dude. I think he is definitely in a better place

Dearest Family,

Growing up with the family I was saddened by the loss of your son, brother, and uncle. I can still remember him like it was yesterday playing on 12th Avenue. May God be with you and give you the strength that your family needs at this time.

Frankie was a kind gentle man who I have fond memories of, especially from our childhood. I know he is at peace with his nana taking care of him. I will miss my cousin and will always keep him in my prayers. My prayers are also for his mom, brothers and sisters who loved him very much.

To my brother Frank, who left way too early, may Peace be with you.

Philippians 4:8 says:

"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy- meditate on these things."

I will really miss Frank. We grew up together in San Francisco, and he was one of my oldest and best friends. I just wish that I could have made the 1400-mile trip to his service.

My deepest sympathies and regards to my cousin Franks mom & brothers & sisters. I know Frank is with his Dad more than likely rooting for the home teams & looking on after the rest of us.
