Trying to add a memory twice and not being successful. Praying that you are watching over our children, Stacy and Todd. They miss you terribly and are in need of closure. Your passing happened so fast and too soon but we know that you are in God´s hand now and at peace.

Happy Father's Day Dad.
You are missed so much and thought of each and every day. I can't believe it's been more than 3 months since you've moved on. My only solace is that you are finally at peace and not suffering anymore in Heaven. May you rest in the comfort and love of our Creator.
Love and miss you very much.
Stacy

Before Frank's passing we spoke on the phone on an almost daily basis...sometimes he would call me twice in one day just to chat. He would always ask me if i was well, give me an update on his health and medical care, give me household advice and tell me what he was planning on cooking for that day. We spoke of his everlasting love for our children, our son Todd Jon and our daughter Stacy Beth. He was so thankful to have his precious daughter visit and call him and overjoyed to have spoken to his son many times before his death. He told me so many times how much he loved them and how he prayed for them. Frank had "Last Rites" before his passing and, as a man who had a deep faith, he had accepted that he would soon be with God. I know you will Rest In Peace and are watching over those you loved.

Grandpa Frank, I´ve always had only the fondest of memories in my mind and heart, over all these years. I remember your smile, hugs, the garden and your yummy tomatoes and cooking eggplant in the kitchen with you. I was so little, but you left an imprint on my heart. I´m so sad, angry, confused, and all the other emotions over the loss of time with you. But I´m grateful that we spoke one last time. It may not have been long, but hearing your voice again was comforting.

I am glad to know that you are at peace and no longer suffering. And I´m sorry that we won´t be able to re-build over memories. Just know that I did, and have always loved you Jeanie
