I had the pleasure of taking care of Frank for the past 3 years during his admissions at St Lukes South Shore and can honestly say that he is missed and often thought about. His smile, positive attitude, and gratitude are qualities not often seen in a patient and are just a few things that I will always remember about him. I have thought about him often since his passing and send my condolences to the LaVora family. A special thank you to the members who gave me my beautiful angel-- I will always be reminded of Frank when I see her.

We were all deeply saddened when hearing about the passing of your pa. Frank was always so good to me growing up! He was like a father figure to me! I was included in alot of activities with your family. I wish Sherri and I would have known. We would have been there for all of you! Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. It is comforting to know "Chick" is back with Jackie!
