I am so sorry to hear of your lost. Death is never an easy situation. Psalms 46:1 helps us to see that God is a refugee and a strength in times of distress. Therefore, please rely on him in this time of need.

It's been years since I've seen him but he and his sisters were in my prayers. Rest in peace Frankie. Thanks for the memories. It's comforting to know you and your sisters are all together again. May God bless your sweet parents and give them peace and comfort.

I have such fond childhood memories of Frankie and April. It has been many years since I last saw either, however it is hard to accept that they have been taken from this earth. May God's peace be with the family during this time.

Delight that you are a spark of light in the universe and that our time here is finite. This gives our lives meaning, this gives our lives purpose. No matter how short, troubled, or tormented all of us have our parts to play. The universe will unfold as it will regardless of our hopes, dreams, or plans. As much as we may want question how unfair or wrong any particular event or passing maybe we should be asking "did he live his live, did he savor it?" For the only true measure of how well we lived our lives is revealed in the answer to those questions. I remember Franky, and from my early childhood memories he lived and loved life. We can not ask any more than that.
Rest In Peace Frank... it may have been many years, indeed decades, but you were a friend to me and my family and forever you will be remembered as that teenager in love with life... as it should be.
