Frank Joseph Giglio

It's me Puddin'!
Frank, it's been a year now and we all have made it but it has been hard. You would be proud of your children and how they have helped me through this even though they are missing and longing for you too.
I still long and pray that I could just feel you and touch you again even if it was for just a little while. Just like it was in the movie "Ghost", I know you probably don't remember that movie knowing the movie buff that you were.
I now Thank God for taking you...

They say time heals all wounds....just wondering how much time it will take. It has been 9 months now and somehow it still feels like yesterday when you were still here. I still think I can pick up the phone and call you....I actually still have that thought process!!! Something will happen that I want to share and I think " I have to call Dad!" and it takes my brain a minute or two to realize that it is not possible. What I wouldn't give for one more day, one more hour, one more minute! ...

Well Frank, Christmas was so hard without you there not only for me but for your children too. WE missed your jokes, your smile and your loving ways. I guess any celebration will be hard the first we celebrate it without you.
Tony called Christmas night crying telling me how much he missed and loved you. He was so broken hearted.
I wish I could just touch you, hold you just one more time. I didn't even get to tell you good-bye because I didn't at any time that day think that you...

Frank,

I miss you so much. Even more than before. I thought I was doing so well dealing with you being gone. I guess it’s finally hitting in that I will never see you again and that you will never be back. Dead is so final! I can’t just say I’m sorry or apologize and you will be there for me.

I’m so thankful that we had such a wonderful loving marriage and commitment to each other. You weren’t only my husband but my friend, confidant, lover, and the best...

Hey Dad, I know you cannot read this, but maybe it will help me to sort of talk to you. Basically, I just miss you so much. More than I ever thought was humanly possible. I try to go about my day as if everything is fine and I especially have to when Danielle is with me, but NOTHING is fine anymore. Danielle gets upset with me if I cry too much. One time when I was crying she was trying to cheer me up and she told me " Don't cry about Paw-Paw" I said " I miss my Daddy" and then she said...

Hey Frank! Yesterday was a tough one with it being the first LSU game. Just in case they don't get "TigerVision" in heaven I want you to know those Tigers won. It wasn't televised here, but I thought about this yesterday and wondered who I'm going to call during the commercials when I do get the game. And who's going to answer any sports questions I may have. So many occasions crop up that I think about you in some way, and I just wanted you to know that it is really tough without you. ...

Dad,

I'm just missing you so much!!!!! I can't count how many times something has happened since you died and I thought, I need to call Dad and tell him that, but I can't. Maybe I can write them here. The girls and I went to the cemetary to put flowers on your grave the other day and Madeline was crying as we got there saying I dont' want to go and cry again. But I told her it was okay, we were just going to leave some flowers for you. She picked the biggest one & said Can I do...

First of all, I’d like to say how honored I am to be part of Frank Giglio’s family.

Aunt Betty—nothing makes me more proud than when you call me your “other son.”

Joey, Shelly and Aimee—I feel the same way when people ask me if we are related. I’ll try and stick something funny about the afros Joey and I had in late 70’s so I can stop myself from crying…

Maw Maw—I’m so proud to call you that, because I feel like you truly are my grandmother…especially on days...
