Frank Testa Obituary

FRANK JOHN TESTA
8/16/1943 - 2/17/2012
Resident of San Jose
Beloved husband of Dwnell Testa. Loving father of Frank J. Testa, JR. (Mary Lou). Devoted grandfather of Lucas and Logan. Dear brother to Darlene (Frank) Balbas, John (Brenda) Heinzig. Dear son-in-law to Ina Mae Sweet. Cherished Uncle, Great-Uncle and Godfather to numerous nieces and nephews. Frank passed away peacefully with his family by his side due to complications from his courageous battle against cancer. Frank retired from a very long and successful legal career. He enjoyed his retirement years playing golf as a member of SJCC, hunting, fishing, driving his little red corvette and traveling to our home in Mexico. He will be missed by all who knew him including his doggies Misha and Danner. These were the best 33 years of my life with you Frank. May you rest in peace.

HAPPY 73rd BIRTHDAY BABE!!! ~
I cannot believe it has been over 4 years since you began your heavenly journey? I miss you everyday and think of you so often. I still cherish the memories of our life together and how much I learned from you. Every day is a new day with many ups and downs, good times and bad, but I am keeping busy with work and taking care of Mom... Many challenges along the way but I am staying positive, trying to live whilst still working and taking good care of our puppies, the house, the garden and the vineyard. Everytime I see the white butterfly or the orange dragon fly I KNOW it is you checking on me and it brings me such peace in my heart and soul. I LOVE YOU BABE ~ Forever and Always your loving wife.... <3 XOX

Good Morning Babe! I just wanted to send you a note to heaven on this Memorial Weekend to let you know that I think about you daily and miss you so much. It seems like everyday is Memorial Day for me when it comes to you not physically being with me. Thank you for the signs you have been giving me. The white butterfly comes around every time I am in our garden or working in the vineyard and it lifts my spirits. I love you and miss you. Forever and always, XOX, your loving wife...

My dearest Frank. Feb. 17th marks 3 years since God called you home to the heavens. I miss you so much, my heart just aches. There is not a moment that goes by that I don't stop to remember our lives together and the fun times we had. Wishing you were still here with me to take away the loneliness. I am surviving and trying to get stronger each day. I hope you are proud of all I have accomplished since you have been gone. You are forever in my heart and I will always love you. please continue to watch over me and come to me in my dreams.... forever and always, your loving wife... Babe I love you!!!

Merry Christmas babe - Missing you so much during the holidays... I am heading to our little corner of paradise for Christmas and New Years. Hoping and praying you will continue to watch over me and guide me in the right direction. It has been a crazy busy year and it went by so fast. Most of the projects are completed at the house with just a few minor touch ups upon my return. I love you and miss you every minute of every day. Thanks for answering my prayers. Forever and always, your loving wife, XOXOX Dwnell

In those quiet moments of the day in between the rustle and bustle of work, school, chores and play… moments where I catch a breath on a small breeze… moments when I am calming down from the day and kissing your grandsons goodnight… I think of you and pray, hope you are proud of how the kids are growing up; hope you will stand next to them when they win and carry them when they fall. You are in their hearts and you are and forever will be loved.

Happy Birthday Babe!!! Today you would have turned 71years old. I cannot tell you how much I miss you. I love it when you come to me in my dreams or when you visit as the orange dragon fly in the vineyard while I am tending to the vines. All of the tropical landscaping I did when you passed in 2012 are coming to fruition and it feels like paradise. It brings me so much joy to sit in the backyard and think of all the good times we had together. It is still so hard to believe that tomorrow marks the 2 1/2 years since God took you to the heavens from me. There will always be a piece of me that died with you and that void hurts so much some days I can barely breathe. I think you would be extremely proud of me though despite this sadness, I am getting thru one day at a time and getting stronger every day. I love you and I miss you and I know I will see you again. Forever and Always, your loving wife, best friend and soul mate... Hugs XOXOX Dwnell

Every day, every hour, every minute whether I am awake or you come to me in my dreams, I wish I could hold you again, share with you in person all that I have accomplished since you have been gone. I hope you keep coming back to me and giving me signs of your approval of our winery, your new refreshed flowers at your grave and all of the work I have been doing around our homes here and in Mexico.

Happy Valentine's Day Babe!!! Missing you so much ~ Can't stop thinking about all the wonderful times we had celebrating Valentine's Day together, trips we took, meals we had at our favorite places, or simply spending a quiet evening at home together with your great cooking and our wine.. Sure miss those times everynite I return home from work and you are not there. But our babies Misha and Danner welcome me home with open barks and jumps and hugs and love - then we crash and get up and go the next day.. It is so lonely without you, but your memories are forever in my heart - I just have to make sure you know how much I love you and miss you each and everyday of my life...

You will be happy to know that I am hosting all of our family for a huge traditional Turkey and Ham dinner on Thursday. Mom, your sister, her hubby, and all your nieces and nephews will be here. There will be 15 of us this year. And then on Friday, I will be hosting some of my dearest closest friends for an old fashioned Italian dinner... some say I am crazy for taking on so much work, but you know how I LOVE to entertain... :) It really will help me to have friends and family around me in your absence. I miss you so much and send you my love and prayers every day and night... Forever and always, I love you!!! Your loving wife, Dwnell

I know you are watching over me, but I miss you, your hugs, your laugh, your smile, your love, and all of the good times we spent together here and at our home in Mexico... what I would give to hold you in my arms and hear your loving voice tell me that you love me... still... Please continue to watch over me and help me heal in order to try to continue to move forward... Forever and always, Happy Birthday Babe, I LOVE YOU!!! Dwnell

My Dearest Frank ~ Today, June 30th, 2013 marks the 29th Anniversary of our wedding and 34 years of our life together. It is so hard to believe. I miss you so much and today I spent many hours reflecting on what a wonderful 34 years we had together. I laughed, I cried, and am holding you tight in my heart. I never knew that I could have such an overwhelming love in my life and each day is such a blessing, but so empty without you. I walked through our beautiful vineyard so lush and full of beauty ~ and I know in my heart of hearts that you were with me every step of the way to make this lush vibrant gardent what it is today - I love you and miss you - and I pray for the strength to continue to face each day anew.... Until we meet again, I am forever and always, your loving wife.... Dwnell

I just want to let you know that our vineyard is flourishing and blooming so beautifully, the vegetable garden is well on its way to producing its fruit ~ It is all coming together - Thank you for your blessings you are bringing to my life. I still miss you every minute of every day but I kmow you are in my heart and surrounding me with your everlasting love. My ankle wound is almost healed - only a couple more weeks to go! :) I am still taking it one day at a time, but I am pushing through and trying to be strond. I LOVE YOU and Miss you so much!!! Until we meet again, forever and always yours, Dwnell

Good Morning Babe! Today marks the 15month anniversary of your passing. I just got back from spending three weeks at our little corner of paradise. Spent two weeks working on our casa, I rebuilt our Palapa on the deck, replaced all interior doors/frames, cleaned out the garage, donated your clothes to ALMA Humane Society on your behalf (I know how you loved helping the strays in MX)... I also cleaned up the Boston Whaler and advertised it for sale on the BPE. No bites yet :)...After all that work, I was able to relax and spend quality time with many of our Baja friends and my Napa friends who visited... I wish you were here to help take care of my injury. I am going to the Dr. and taking care of it, but it is painful. I cried myself to sleep last night - I miss you more and more every day and my love will forever be yours. I hope you like the fresh new flowers I placed on your gravesite... Please continue to watch over me as you have been. I feel you in my heart!! Forever and Always, XOXOX Dwnell

My Dearest Frank: Tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of your passing. There hasn't been a minute, an hour, or a day that has gone by that I don't feel you presence in my heart and know that you are watching over me. Today, Saturday Feb. 16th, I am hosting 90 of your family and friends at our home to celebrate your life, and dedicate our Testa Vineyard in your honor and memory. You will be so proud to see our family crest on our wine label and a dedication to you as my gift to our family and friends to take away with them. We will have a band and an Italian Buffet catered as well. I know you will be with us in spirit and you have blessed us with a warm beautiful day. I love you and I miss you and I am doing this all in memory of you. XOXOX Forever and Always, your loving wife, Dwnell

HAPPY NEW YEAR BABE!!!
Well, I survived the New Year's celebration with Jim/Jean, Billy/Tina, Danny/Andrea and many others at the club. We toasted to you and I cried at mid-night missing you so very much. Went to bed shortly after mid-night crying and woke up crying - not knowing what the future holds for me. All I know is I LOVE YOU and I MISS YOU so much - it hurts.. I thank God everyday for the 33 years we spent together - Wish you were here... Love you bunches... XOXO Forever and Always, Dwnell

Good Morning Babe~ Well, today is the 10 month anniversary that God called you home to the heavens and left me with an aching empty heart. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you, talk to you, share a happy memory with others about you and our life together. This does help with the healing process, but will never replace your warm embrace, hugs, kisses, laughter, and your sharing of your knowledge with me. I miss you terribly. I will be with Mom on Christmas Eve here at home and then Mom and I will go to Darlene's for Christmas Day - we all miss you very much. I am looking forward to spending New Year's Eve at SJCC with your friends and their wives, it was so nice of them to include me! Our backyard paradise is absolutely beautiful and I know you have something to do with the blooms continuing to flower even during these terrible rains we have been having. I can't wait to plant our vineyard in the spring - I will produce our own Testa wine just like you and I had talked about. This will be a hobby that will keep me busy and further connected to you ~ my love, my heart, my life and my soul. I miss you babe, yours forever and always, XOXO Dwnell

Hi Honey ~ Today marks the 8 month anniversary of your passing and I miss you more and more every day. While I have been keeping busy with work and making lots of improvements in our garden and organizing the house, our home is just not the same without you. I know you are here with me and helping all along the way and that gives me great comfort. I am very excited that I will be at our casa in Mexico in November AND Frank Jr, Mia, Lucas and Logan will join me AND Darlene is also going to spend time with me down there too. Paul is going to stay at our house in San Jose while I go to Mexico AND Misha and Danner get to go adios too! The puppies miss you dearly too. We are hanging in there - but it does get so lonely without you, your smiles, your hugs and your humor. I love you so much babe....Forever and always....

Today would have been your 69th birthday. I love you and miss you so much. It is hard to believe that tomorrow will mark the 6month anniversary of your passing. It just seems so unreal to me. Even today, I still feel like you are here with me. I hope you like all the landscaping I just completed in our backyard. I built a pond, landscaped with all the tropical plants you love and it really feels like a relaxing resort to enjoy my time listing to the water fall and the fountains and remembering all the good times we had during our 33 years together. I miss you terribly and my heart aches for you to send me a sign that you are still my guardian angel, watching over me. I love you Babe!!!

My Dearest Frank ~ today is the four month anniversary of your passing. I miss you so much. My heart aches for you every day. I am trying very hard to move forward, taking care of our babies, our home, and work is keeping me very busy. But at the end of the day, when I am all alone, my mind races and rewinds with memories of you and I, the time we spent together, with friends and family gatherings, and I think how lucky I am to have had you in my life. I am truly blessed to have been loved by you. You are still my guardian angel and always will be. Forever loving and missing you, Dwnell

March 18, 2012

My Dearest Frank ~ It has only been one month since God called you home and you left me all alone. My heart aches every minute of every day ~ I miss you so.. I received a prayer card which brings me some comfort titled:
Safely Home
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is a perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasing light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth -
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
Until I see you again,
Loving you forever,
Dwnell

My Dearest Frank:
My heart aches and I miss you so much, but I find comfort every time I read the following poem.
My Guardian Angel
My angel's right beside me,
wherever I may go,
keeping close watch over me,
he's my husband don't you know.
God took him away from me,
not so long ago,
but he promised he'd never leave me,
dear lord I miss him so.
But I know he's right beside me,
wherever I may go,
for he's my guardian angel,
my love, my life, my soul.
I miss you so much babe..
Loving you forever,
