Dearest Frank, I will always remember your beautiful soul and have been celebrating your life from the moment I met you! I miss you more than I could ever imagine, but I know the Heavens will be rejoicing that they have their Angel home to celebrate, without any pain or suffering!
You made such a fabulously blessed and profound mark on this world, that folks (me included!) are still improving themselves because of you! And spreading the joy and love that you started!
Trust me, Random Acts of Kindness are being done on your behalf everyday and so many people absolutely love "cloud" flowers now!
Thank you for being you, and I thank the Lord for bringing our paths together.
I thank God every day for you and your family.
I miss you and love you my dear Frank!
Happy Heavenly Birthday!

Watched his amazing videos on YouTube. A pure entertainer, an inspiration to the youth aspiring to persue video creation. Frank had, and will forever have, a beautiful and pure heart.

I was so saddened to hear of Frank's passing. What a marvelous young man and so full of life. I have no words to offer you in comfort for your loss but I can tell you that even though I never met Frank in person he has touched my life and the lives of those in my church (Wellspring UMC) in a very special way. We have been praying for Frank for a long time and we will continue to hold you and your family in our prayers. Frank led a very short life but it was filled with love and impact for so many. Hugs, love and peace.

I am deeply sorry for your loss, and was so saddened to read about the loss of a child. May the God of comfort give you strength during this difficult time, and may you draw comfort from the hope he gives us for the future at 1 Thessalonians 4:14, a future in which we can again see our loved ones who have passed away.

I am so sorry to hear about Frank's passing. I will always remember his beautiful and bright shining face that I was blessed to see everyday years ago. He will forever be in my heart and I will hold my angel pin you gave me, close. Thank you for touching so many lives, including mine. Such a young, intelligent boy influenced my life greatly and I appreciate that very much.

Dear Frank - We've never met. But, I had the privilege of knowing you through my son Matt. We spoke of you often and I know how much he cherishes your friendship. I like to think he captured your courage, love, and exuberance to be shared and serve as a source of inspiration for others. My heart is heavy for the loss of someone with such a beautiful heart. Rest in peace.

Frankie, You are and will always continue to be a light to me in my life. You brought everyone around you joy and you always were so sweet, always worrying about everyone else. I will never forgot how you prayed for Michael and gave him all your money and prayer beads. You were wise beyond your years and you have taught all of us so much. Rest in Peace sweet boy. Love, Tara

Frank and I never met, but we were connected to each other through our church prayer chain. Even though I never had children of my own, I felt very close to Frank. He was a stellar example of how to live the gift of life in thankfulness and love. Go in peace to our Saviour's arms and enjoy the new life awaiting you.

One week ago, Frank attended his last church service on Pentacost--the Christian Church's "birthday." Well, Frank always enjoyed a celebration.
For the next week I will post each day a different photo, anecdote, or clip of Frank at www.twitter.com/jimwkline
Today is his first Sunday in Heaven, and I rejoice in the memories of him and will love him in my heart forever.

I don't think there is a person that ever met Frank that didn't have their life changed forever. And second only to this amazing young man is his family. I'm proud to have considered him my friend and will remember him forever. Love and prayers to the entire family.

Frank Joseph Carpino was the strongest boy I have known. The following of his stories was so Special for me.
The remarkable friends and family are truly blessed! I work at the Genoa Public Library and have also been kept updated by my retired, co worker Jim Kline. This has been very hard for Jim and we said many Prayers for Frank Joseph's progress and comfort.
He is my Special Angel I knew on earth..
Many Blessings
