Daddy, As I sit here thinking about you, I think about all the times that we have spent together cooking. All those Holiday family dinners and different fundraisers. I remember the time that we made over 300 meatballs for the Adobe Christian Preschool Dinner or the Table of St. Joseph fundraiser for the High School Scholarships for the Italian Catholic Federation. I remember a time that we didn't have any electricity one Thanksgiving and all we had was the gas grill to cook the dinner, it was a good thing that the turkey was already cooked before it went out. I have been really depressed since your death. I really wanted to see you and Mommy in the last five years and you know the reason for that? I have thought about you and Mommy in all the holidays and birthdays since the last time I saw you in March 2015. I thought of you and Mommy when I married Miguel. He is a great man who loves me and has taken care of me these last couple of years. I hope that you like the pictures that I just put up. They are the Madonna del Lume Church and the town where are family is from. You will be in my heart for the rest of my Life? I hope that you are with all the Grandparents, Joie and Stevie, your brother and sisters and Sammy and Uncle Sal. You are the Father that a girl can have. I love you with all my heart and soul. May you rest in peace Daddy?

Daddy, you are my beacon of hope and you will be in my heart for the rest of my life. I know that I couldn't be there for you the last 5 years but, I have thought of you and mommy everyday. I have cried for you and mommy everyday. I wanted to let you know that I have married a man that is just like you in every way. He has the work ethic that you have instilled in all of us. His name is Miguel and he loves me and is there for me since you and mommy couldn't.

Uncle Frank, you were like a father to me. When my own father died, you were there to comfort me. On my wedding day, you were busy in the kitchen making the BEST ravioli anyone ever tasted to serve at the reception. It was a family meal made with love. That was the kind of man you were - always working behind the scenes to make things perfect and make people feel like family. You were so loved and respected by the men at the Longshoreman's Hall. No one spoke of you without a smile on their face. There was never a harder working man than you. I know your love and devotion to the Madonna will mean you are given a hero's welcome when you get to Heaven. There are plenty of people waiting there for you. Joey and Stevie will greet you, and I'm sure you and Daddy can have some good conversations around your Heavenly dinner table again. The world isn't the same without you, Uncle Frank, but I know you'll be watching over us all. I love you.

Frank was such a wonderful, kind and loving man. He was a great cook and for many years dedicated his time and cooking to many school fundraisers, including Adobe Christian Preschool. We will always remember his generosity and kind nature. Our love and condolences to his family. Arrivederci Frank ❣

You weren’t just my daddy but my best friend and I’ve been blessed to have such a wonderful man like you as my daddy. My heart is broken and a little lost but I’m filled with warmth knowing you’ll guide me safely home with the Madonna. I love you always
