Dear Frank,
You finally have peace and comfort with no struggles. However, I can remember the "good times" we had when you came for your OT sessions....Yes, Good Times. We made onlookers think we were crazy because of all the laughing we did, and made other Hospital employees really wonder what the heck was going on (we just said, "Oh just our regular therapy session", hahaha). Your sessions even helped a few other people by giving them some encouragement. You're in a good place now, for sure. "Gypsy"

To Frank's Sister and Famiy:
I served in the Army with Frank at Fort Irwin, CA when our unit 6/84 was activated and trained from Sept 67 to Feb 68 when we shipped to Vietnam as a battalion. I was the battery clerk for C Battery but was originally trained in FDC (Fire Direction Control) (Same MOS as Frank). After the mortar attack on April 9, l967 and Frank was injured, I don't think any of heard from or knew any more info regarding him, until Nadine contacted our reunion website a few months ago.I don't think any of us had any idea how seriously Frank had been wounded.
Please accept our deepest smpathies and may he rest in peace forever.

Dear Frank,
I will always remember those high school years...the parties at Pat's house...it was such a fun time. I am so glad that you got to experience those innocent, happy times. No words can express the sorrow I feel about your war injuries. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the sacrafices you made for us. I think of you fondly and always will.

Dear Nadine, I just heard about Frank's passing. Had I known earlier, I would have attended his memorial. I knew Frank throughout my teen-age years. He often came to my Mom and Dad's house on Fort Park and we'd sit in the basement and listen to records. We would slow dance. I had a major crush on him too! He was always such a joy to be around. He had the greatest sense of humor and everyone liked him. I don't believe you and I ever met, but he always talked about you and I could tell he loved his "little sister" and felt very protective of you. I have met your parents as well as Barry and his sister (whose name I forgot). Frank and I would reconnect periodically over the years and had a few visits at his house on Farnham. Both he and I loved dogs. I want to say again that I am so sorry for your loss. May God bless Frank. Pat (Diaz) Krause

My Dearest Frank,
I remember the many days we spent together growing up not as just cousins but as best friends. You always inspired me to do better and much of what I am is due to you. I even owe you thanks for introducing me to the two loves of my life. I am so sorry that we lost touch after I left Michigan in 1977, but please know that you have always been a part of my heart, soul, and life. Please know that I respect you immensely for the sacrifice you made in Viet Nam and for your courage in dealing with your injury. I wish you peace, serenity, and happiness wherever you are.
Your Loving Cousin, Barry

Dear Nadine and Family,
I was so very sad to hear the news of your brother's passing. When Myra told me I had no words. His memory will be forever in the hearts of those who loved him. Although I did not know him personally, his devotion to his country and the time he served this nation in a time of war cannot be emphasized. My heart and prayers go to you and all your family. As the mother of two who serve, one Marine, one Air Force, I stand at salute with all that it stands for to one who served in Nam, served well, and deserves the gratitude of a nation! We have what we have because of men like your brother and I for one will always honor this proud veteran! God bless to you all. My prayers and candles will be lit to honor him. All our love, Marlene and Dan Beranek and Family (with special intentions from Lance Corporal Nolan Everett Beranek, USMC and Amanda Paige Beranek, Cadet Third Class, United States Air Force Academy).

Farewell Cousin Frank

Dear Nadine & Barry - I send condolences from our family at the passing of your beloved brother and cousin. Frank was on the periphery of my life when I was in high school and college, but I remember how highly regarded he was by everyone, and how hard it was when he was injured so severly early in his life. I understand that his life was quite difficult from that point on and it was hard on everyone to witness his struggles and pain. Yet, every life has deep meaning that can't always be known from the outside, including being an example of courage and compassion to others. It takes a great "master" to choose to live each day and transform it to goodness. With his purpose fulfilled, he is now free to experience the Unconditional Love of God, that is all our destiny. Love is what he left behind to comfort those he cared about and who loved him in return. His spirit is with us still, for love never dies.

I know that you were loved here on the earth plain by both friends and family. I know that Grandma, Grandpa, your Dad, Uncle Bob and Aunt Eileen and all the family member that have gone before you, were there with open arms and unconditional love for you. May you rest in the loving arms of God until you come back and try again.
Love always

Dear Frank,
I am so glad that we reconnected in recent months after 44 years of not knowing what happened after you were wounded on that horrble 1968 April night in Vietnam. I hope that our telephone conversations were as therapeutic & beneficial for you as they were for me.
Every surviving member of C Battery, 6thBn/84th Artillery will always remember and honor you for your service and for your sacrifice on our behalf and for our country.
May you rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon you

Dear Frank,
You were a wonderful person with so much kindness and compassion. It has been a pleasure knowing you for the 19 years. I will never forget our laughs and our fish fry fridays at flappers bar and grille. You had such an impact on my life like I had on yours. You will always be in my heart. Love Cheryl

The light that you are connects again with the Divine, peace be with you now.
Blessings on your journey and knowing that the bond of brother and sister can never be extinguished. The love that you are is also in your sister's heart, and that is how I know you.

Dear Frank,
Although I never met you, I feel as if I knew you because of your sister, Nadine. She has shared with me many of memories of the two of you growing up...the laughter, the smiles, and also the sadness. While the tears come and go now when the thoughts of you return, be mindful that some of those tears are ones of joy because she knows the two of you will once again be together. I wish that I had met you and hope that you are finally at peace.

Hey Frank:
We never knew one another, but I must say, you certainly earned the greatest sister in the world. Go with God, Frank....and rest in peace. You will be in great company. We'll meet up next time.

My dearest Brother,
There are no words that I can say that could possibly tell you what you have meant to me. We were so connected, you and I for the first twenty years of our life. You were my big brother, my protector, and someone who understood things that no one else could know. We were like a team back then, looking out for each other, defending each other. I thought you were the best of the best. Life was very difficult for you and for that I am so sorry. Still, no matter how many blows knocked you down, you worked so hard to smile, to reach out to other suffering people, to try to make a difference in the world. You were truly a Leo the Lion, holding big, big dreams in your heart and always trying so hard to connect with your Higher Power and to find answers. I wish life had been different for you, better, with more love, laughter, friends and a special someone. In the end you will be remembered as a man who supported his country, a man who stood in the face of great adversity and rarely complained. You were Braveheart, you were my big brother and I will keep you close in my heart for all my days. Go with God, Frankie. xoxoxo
