Frankie, We will miss your friendly smile and happiness. Your loss was a tremendous shock and we are still in disbelief. You will be greatly missed. May you rest in peace brother. To your family, we truly and deeply regret your loss and know, as you can recall, our brother, Mario, also passed last year. We understand and can share the degree of pain you must be enduring, just know that he has gained wings to fly to the heavens and finally meet with your parents. God Bless David, Bertha, David Jr. and Mike.

Frankie, We saw you grow up amongst us. You and the "guys" have always been viewed as an extended family in my mother's eye as well as the rest of us. We shared much happy times as we have sorrows. This has been a shock to everyone who knows you as witnessed by the crowd that countinued to grow throughout that morning of friends and family who dropped everything to be there. We will forever miss you, your smile, your jolliness and your kind heart. You will be remembered as the happy one who'd always lend a hand to those in need. May you rest in peace now that you have joined the heavens and your parents. Our greatest condolences to Gibo, Ronnie and Tony. May God be with you in these most heart-breaking times. Sincerely Saenz Family.

I stood there this evening, at his rosary, in amazement of the mass of friends and family that gathered and realized what a great impact Frankie had on all. I simply want to express, particularly, to his friends, that you are truly a wonderful bunch of guys. What you did for your friend was exceptional and unforgettable. What I've witnessed in these past few days clearly depicts what true friendship is and all of you should be proud of yourselves, I certainly am. I'm proud to say that I grew up in Elm Street among most of you. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

My friend and my brother I will have a void in my heart for the rest of my life. You have made a lasting impression on everyone you have ever met or ever know and every one of them loves you for it. Do us all a favor as you break through the clouds to get to where you need to be. Pause and look down show us that smile that you always had for everyone. Give us another glimpse of those baby blues that brightened up even the most cloudy day. I swear to you that every tear that runs down my cheek is not in vain. I will see you again and we will laugh maybe even harder than before. You fly off and embrace what is now your peace. Embrace God, Heaven and everything that is you. We will have you in our hearts, hands, arms and minds. No regrets my brother. No regrets. One more thing keep your eyes wide open so that every time the sky is sunny and clear and blue I can look up and then tell my kids hey look at the sky that’s Frankie saying “Hey Yo!”

My deepest sympathies Tony, Gibo and Roni.
I cannot believe that it has been over 16 years ago that I had met you. It seems like only yesterday that you were dancing with me at Angel’s & my wedding. My heart just sunk when Angel told me that you had passed away. I wish that it were only a bad dream. I know that all the boys and my husband will miss you dearly. Elm Street will not be the same without you. May the angels be with you on your journey home to your parents. Love ya and miss ya!

John 14:1-7
‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe* in God, believe also in me. 2In my Father’s house there are many dwelling-places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?* 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also. 4And you know the way to the place where I am going.’* 5Thomas said to him, ‘Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?’ 6Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you know me, you will know* my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.’ Thank you for all the the good memories Franko! Our Sincerest Condolences to the Nunez Family & to Cristina! We will miss you " YO "! Joe & April Pena

It is very rare that a person can be so special that they can influence many people. But Frankie was that kind of person. His big heart was what I will always remember the most. I am proud to say that he was my friend and I THANK GOD that he let me have him as a friend. We will all have an emptiness in our hearts because of our loss. To the Nunez family I am sorry for your loss and hope that with Frankie's loss it will strengthen all of you as a family.

I was really sad to hear that Frank had past away last week, he was a wonderful friend and boyfriend to my sister Cristina, I am honored to have been able to grow up with him in the same neighborhood back in El Paso, Tx. I live here in Phoenix now but everytime I went back to visit my family back in El Paso, Frank always made my vacation time back home a fun one along with my family and the rest of our friends, I loved him dearly and will miss him greatly. God Bless his family and friends.
