Dear Carol,
We send our heartfelt sympathy to you, Frankie, Kathy and Tara and their families and also to Frank’s brother Filippo and the rest of your close family for the great loss you suffer.
Although it’s just four years that we know Frank (since moving to Florida), it seems like he’s always been part of our lives because he had the gift of making one feel so comfortable from the first time meeting him. We’re fortunate to have known him and his likable and generous ways and his great gift of conversation.
Carol, you and I go back before “DCE forever” days, and then by chance we all meet again after decades. As I read the dedications to Frank I was touched by the beautiful sentiments written; to which we add our prayers to you and all your family that you will be watched over and comforted in your grief.
With Love,
Jill Oliver

To My Cousin Frankie's Family, Carol and Children and Grandchildren and Brother Filippo. I am so sorry at the passing of Frank.
Frankie was full of love and life!When he joined the Navy after Fairleigh Dickinson, his Dad was sad, and said I will never see my son again! Well when he adjusted, he was so happy telling everyone where Frank was. He is in Iceland, He is in Sinapore. He was so excited for Frank.
He was crushed by the passing of his Mom and was very good and caring toward his Dad and took care of him as he aged.
He loved visiting his children and grandchildren; he was so proud whenever he spoke of them -he had the biggest smile on his face.
He told me once, there is more of our family on the other side than here, that is so true.
Our grandparents are long gone, our aunts and uncles, my parents, some of our cousins, Alba, Alva Maria, my Dear Brother Ralph, and now you, Frank. You all passed so young.
It's only Filippe, Mary Ann, Michael, Phillip in Lowell, and me left from the original Pagano's but Thank God there are a lot of grandchildren and great grandchildren to carry on.
God Bless You Frank.
Personal Message to Frankie - Remember after the passing of your Dad, I told you your Dad came to me in a vision and I told you his demeanour and what he said, and you responded, yeap, that's my Dad!
Now you are with him and your Mom.
Ronnie (I hope I didn't talk too long.)

Frank, my deepest sympathy for the loss of your Dad. I didn't know him that well but I could surely see that he was a man of integrity. He fought a good fight - may he be at peace with God in Heaven. You and your family are in my prayers.
