Dear Sue, and Family,
I was so sad to hear about uncle Frank. Why does God always take the most amazing people first? I remember as a child uncle Frank was always so kind and warm and welcoming. He was so sincere in his love for everyone. It was felt deeply.
He seemed so interested in whatever we had to say and made us feel like we were important when we were little. That feeling never stopped when we grew up. He had a great sense of humor and his laughter filled up a room. I am so sorry he had to suffer, he was a wonderful person and he will be greatly missed by all.

I am sure he will give his son a big hug as soon as he arrives.
I am sure he is already visiting with his father Robert and my adorable grandmother who was also taken too soon. All my love and prayers to the family.
