Uncle Frank,
Just wanted to tell you how much I still miss you and Aunt Cella. You were such a special person to me and it saddens me to see how things have turned out. You were always so special to me and I love you and miss you.

Dad,
Tomorrow will be a year And I'm still sooo sad . I know you are in a better place. But I miss you so much! Mom is doing so good, you'd be so proud of her. She forgot alot of stuff but sometimes that's a good thing.We're watching Mom And taking care of her. Cortney's having another baby and it'll be named after you (Lorenzo) Hopefully he'll be the kind of person you were. We're still staying together as a family. We know that's what you'd want, And that's what we want! I think you & Mom did a pretty good job with instilling family in us. I feel blessed that we had you for as long as we did, but so sad that it couldn't be longer.
Till we meet again, Love you, Alyson

I swear this year has flown by , but on other hand it feels like you have been gone forever . if there is only one thing in life , I want it is to be just like you !!! For your funeral everyone had such nice things to say about you. And I know people just say nice thing in a time like that, but not this time everything everyone said was a 100% true ! i am so grateful to have had such a great peep like you. I was so excited when i passed my insurance test and so sad because I couldn't call and tell you. Trey made me feel a little better he told me that you probley already knew before I did. I miss you so much , even as I am writing this I am crying ! it was to soon for you to go peep I just wish I would wake up and it would be all a dream. I feel like I have been robbed. I love you peep I hope you are in heaven watching all of us. I promise I will do my best to make you proud of me .

Uncle Frank,
There are no words to say how mucch I miss you and Aunt Cella. You were always there for me and I could call and talk to you two anytime and always got the best and most loving words of advice. I'll miss you coming for Sunday dinner and "getting lost!" The day you walked through the screen with you dinner in your hand! I know you are in Heaven watching over all the people you loved and it will not be long before I will be there with you. Then we can watch over everybody together. I truly love you amd miss you and I know that you loved me, too.

Peep,
I still Love and Miss you so very much. I think about you all the time.I can't tell you how badly I miss our talks in the morning before I go to work.I read Uncle Nooks entry and he is so right. No matter what path life took me down weather it was good or bad, I never felt judged by you. That was a good feeling, to know you were always there waiting with open arms.I feel so blessed that God chose you to be my Peep.
Love Always,
Cortney

I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Frank, my husband and I moved next door to him in 2000 and was greeted by Mr. Frank & Mrs. Marcella and they were the best neighbors we could have ever had, even after moving we stopped by from time to time to say Hi and Mr. Frank always had a story to tell. I am sorry I did not hear of his passing sooner but we are very sorry for your loss he was truly a great man and we loved talking to both him and Mrs Marcella may he rest in peace.

First holiday without Peep! Not easy!

Wow! What a loss!

What would Peep do?
What would Peep think?
How many times have we spoke those words? I for one will continue to honor his life with those same words. I drifted off a few times in my life, Peep was always their with open arms. Your back BLACK? That is all he would say with a smile. I would smile back and say Yep! Not another word was said about where I had been.

You know Peep does live on through all of us. When we smile people will see Peep, I know this for a fact. SMILE :) What a great way to honor Peep!

ONE LAST THING!
I think I can speak for Frank and I when I say our 3 sisters are unreal. These girls have a place in heaven for the love and care they give to Meam on a daily basis. Without them life would be a lot more difficult since Peep passed.

Peep, I was so lucky to have married your son Frank, Jr. it gave me the opportunity to have a wonderful relationship with the best Father-in-law ever. From the day I walked in your home you "Peep", Meam and all of your children treated me as if I were special and part of the Lorenzo family. It's because of you Peep who instilled such kindness, love and compassion in your family that all who knew you admired the closeness you all have. Peep was always willing to lend a hand no matter what the task was with that generous smile he always had so happy to be of help and to be with the ones he loved. His family was the most important thing to him and he loved being with everybody. You will be greatly missed, but I know you are our guardian angel and you are going to make sure God hears our prayers. I can see you up there just a smiling away and when I look at your children I see that same infectious smile on their faces. When I called you on the phone I will really miss hearing you say Hey Boo how you doing and always when we said good bye the Love ya! at the end. Again I couldn't have asked for a better father-in-law and family to be part of. I will miss you greatly and think of you everyday.
Love ya!
Your daughter-in-law

Peep,

I always knew you were just one phone call away and you never let me down. I know as I got older I did not spend as much time with you, but you understood. My memories as a child always revolved around you and the family. I am glad you got to see your family grow. You were so proud of everyone and they knew it. You were our decision barometer (What would Peep think?) and no one wanted to let you down.

I am so glad you were active in my family’s life and the next Birthday, Halloween or Holiday won’t be as bright without you, but we will set a plate of food aside for you.

I miss you. It is so hard to imaging life without you. I know it is reality, but it still has not set in yet. My peace is knowing that you are just one prayer away and you will never let me down.

Love,

Ty

Peep-
It meant so much to us that you always showed us how proud you were of us. We completely enjoyed having you be part of all of our special events. You had the ability to make all of us feel like we were something special. We are all so glad to have had you in our lives. See you again one day; we know you'll be there to get us when it's time.

This is what I remember as a kid!!!
Did you ever watch Leave it to Beaver? You may not know this but Wally and the Beav had three sisters Deb,Dee and Alyson. My dad made sure we lived like Leave it to Beaver!! We really did, we were allowed to be kids, what a gift. My dad had to grow up fast, in those days that's just how it was. My brother and three sisters have always helped keep our family unit STRONG. Now we head towards the next chapter of our lives.
