My deepest condolences to your family. I enjoyed working with a Kyle Frank at Saints Peter and Paul School. She was so pleasant to work with, and her smile always brightened my day. I attended Salpointe with her daughter Kathy Frank Leyva. My deepest condolences Kathy, your mom made a big difference in many people's lives. She shared her live of music with me, and I remember she let me borrow a guitar over summer break. Her kindness will never be forgotten. God bless you & your family.

Sincerely,
Dina Romo

I am so sad to hear this news, Mrs. Frank believed in me and my ability to sing before I did. She was my teacher throughout my 8 years at Sts. Peter & Paul and taught me to truly hear music and the beauty in the nuances of it! She was a wonderful teacher and a beautiful human being! She will be missed by so many!

I was Kyle's college roommate at Ithaca. I cannot believe she has been taken so early from this life but she will live forever in my heart. She will be forever missed. I send my love and sincere sympathy to Gerry, her children and grandchildren and hope you can find comfort in all the happy times you had together.
