Uncle Frank,



I am glad that our lives touched if only for brief moments over time.



I know that you are now at peace and united with Grandma Carmella, Grandma Amelia, Grandpa Enrico, Uncle Sookey and my father Bill as well as other family and friends. I ask that you all watch over us until such time that we will be united again as a family in eternal life.
