Grandpa,
I Do not think there are words that express how much I truly miss you! I have so many great memories with you growing up, like getting some of the best hugs ever and making your ear whistle, and most of my favorite christmas memories are with you and grandma. You were a one of a kind man, emphasis on the KIND, and i'm pretty sure they broke the mold after they made you! I could not have asked for a better grandpa and friend! You will always be here in our hearts and even though you did not get much time with Destiny she will grow up knowing what a GREAT man you were! I'm trying real hard to not be sad because I know thats what you would want so I'm just going to say I love you and I'll see ya again someday!!!
p.s. tell my Uncle Bobby I love him and miss him a bunch too!!

My darling Frank, I am sitting here reflecting on our last night together and the pain is tearing at my very soul.This last year has had so much going on, some bad and some good. I am only trying to survive on this earth without you. I have made choices some do not approve of and some that they do.At this point in my life I could not be alone any more. Chuck and I came into each others lives totally unexpected. We have fallen in love and married. I truly think you would approve because he will love me and take care of me. He agrees that when I have to leave this earth, my place is beside you for eternity, so once more I must again tell you goodbye and let you go so you can rest. I will be okay..until I can kiss your mouth again..I will remain..Your Cookie

Frank, when I talked to you earlier, I forgot to ask you to keep a "Special" prayer always ready for our daughter Angela. You always said you loved her unconditionally, well she loved you the same. She has sacrificed everything to take care of first you, then when you left, me. Please tell God she has had enough & now it is time for her..Give her peace & happiness. I do not honestly know another human on earth that has given of herself all her life for others. Responsibilty should have been her middle name. Take care of her..I love her more than life itself..I thank God for letting me keep her, you have her 3 brothers..now let me keep her..WATCH over her..thank you my love..Cookie

Frank, I do not know why the last time I was here, my thoughts did not appear. To you I can only say..I will always love you, no matter where life takes me from this day forward. I am trying to recover my future without you in it. It has been a HARD recovery, but I think you will not be unhappy with my choices. When my time on earth is done.I will lay beside you forever..The biggest part of my heart will always belong to you..forever yours..Cookie

Happy 90th birthday my love. You almost made didn't you?I am writing this after midnight, just couldn't do it earlier. Angie, Jerry & I took birthday balloons to the cemetary today. They are flying around, just swaying in the wind. I felt your presence..I felt your arms around me, I could almost feel your breath on me. I miss you so much. No one will ever know truly just how much. I seem to always have my "plastic" face on. There are those that know, or think they know, what I am doing to survive. I am doing what it takes to get me to mentally & physically fill the void that you left. I will always love you. Until we meet again, I am yours..truly yours,your loving wife, Cookie

Hi my darling. It has been so long since I talked to you on here. Changes have taken place for me. Angela & Jerry moved into the 5th wheel in the back. It helps so much. When I walk past one of your pictures, I look at you & tell you "I know I have screwed up, I have spent money foolishly, I need to clean more etc." I will be okay. My brother called a few minutes ago & I was having a big meltdown. He understands & we were laughing by the time he hung up.I do not know much more to say, except I love you & I will be there when it is my time. Save me a spot beside you. That is where I belong..Love you & miss you

Hi Baby. It is Easter today. Angie & I came to the cemetery yesterday & put some really pretty flowers, balloons & wind spinners for you & Bobby, I hope you two liked them. Went again today & they are still beautiful. I miss you so much. I still cannot realize that you will not be sitting at the table with me again, or riding in the car with me, or laying next to me at night. Emptiness is all I feel. Everyone assures me that some of this hell of pain will subside, but not until I can kiss you & feel your arms around me once again will the hurt go away. I will see you someday in the future, I know I will. Watch over me until that time. I love you. Your Cookie

grandpa you were the most loving gental man Ive ever known. I hope some day I will amount to a quarter of the man that you where, you are my everything and will always be missed.

Hi Baby. Just thinking of you again, as I do about 100 times a day. I miss you so much. Seems like the pain is getting worse. I am holding on here one day at a time. I see your touch all over the house. You were so wonderful in everything you did. Save me a seat next to you. I will join you in time, way in the future. I am lucky enough to have so much love around me, I am sure I will be here for a long time, 'till that time, I am "Your forever love". Cookie

This story is about me and my relation with Frank. He was like a father to me and I always called him Pop. I first met Frank when we became neighbors. I walked over next door to his house and introduced myself to him. From day one we have always had working on automobiles in common. It was because of Frank that I had bought my first dressed motorcycle. Mom and Pop was in a motorcycle club and we joined the club with them and did touring of nearby cities in and around Sacramento, we all had a great time riding even through snow. Ever since then, I've known Pop for over 35+ years. Years ago he took me fishing for the first time, my real dad never did that. Right up to our last days together we still worked on things in the shop and did yard work. For several years Mom and Pop had 4th of July barbecues. Pop always barbecued lamb. One year I even bought 2 lambs for the barbecue, just to make sure we had the best barbecue there could. He had his own special barbecue seasoning that he used every year. There would over 150-200 people coming and going all day long, live music by uncle Merl and friends. all that came, always had a great time at Mom and Pops 4th of July barbecue. He will always be missed by all of us more than anyone could ever imagine missing a family member. We know he is watching over and thinking about us as much as we are him. I still over to Mom and Pop's for coffee in the mornings and help out and do anything I can for Mom because I know that's what Pop would want me to do. Love, Richard, Janie, Cheri, And Monae.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Thursday the 3rd will be our 32nd wedding anniversary, I will give flowers to you, like you always did for me. I will see you again & kiss that beautiful mouth once again.

Baby, baby, baby, I miss you so much. I feel so empty. This house is so big without you in it. Everything here is you, & without you here it is just "Stuff." We had it all 'cause we had each other. We had laughter, happiness, tears of joy & tears of sadness but most of all we had real love. I remember when we got married the first time, you said "if we have 5 mos., 5 years or whatever we had, we had more than a lot of people have in a lifetime, we have real love". You were so right. We had one hell of a ride & I will get stronger by myself 'till I can kiss your mouth once again. I will love you forever. I am your Monaho.

My husband Dave and I met Frank and Cookie when our transmission blew about five years ago and he helped us out, no questions asked. He did not even hesitate to help. What a very generous guy he was. Cookie opened up her house to us.
Then I met Frank and Cookie another time when we came over with Rich to their house.
Our sympathy is with you Cookie and your family.
God Bless You.

Dear Mr. Romano, even though our interactions were limited to those at our bank, it was always a joy assisting you and Cookie. I will never forget how we spent time making sure your books balanced to the penny, and if they didn't how it was my fault. You always brightened up my day, and I will miss our interactions as limited as they were. To the family I can only imagine how deeply saddened you all are, because I myself am saddened and only knew Mr. Romano for a small amount of time. We will all miss this great man who made everyday you saw him a better one.

pops, when Bill and I met you and Cookie (oh so many years ago) I knew you that you were a gentle, kind and loving man. I was right. As the years grew, so did the love Bill and I had for you. You are our Pops. There is no other man on this Earth that will ever take the place of our Pops. You are a great man and will be missed by everyone who knew you. I loved you like a father and when I lost the love of my life you were there to lend a guiding hand and a shoulder to cry on. I love you pop and will miss you terribly.

I know we are all feeling a little bit sad, That we've lost our Grandpa, our friend and our dad,
Together we have cried an ocean of tears as we feel so empty and hold many fears
But Grandpa would want us to know he's in a good place
And that he watching us all with a smile on his face
As we have made him so proud, as proud as can be
That he has raised such a beautiful and special family
Thinking back now I really must say
I feel lucky and privileged to have known Grandpa to this day
For in my life, you have played a special part
The memories I will treasure and keep close to my heart
For me I am glad my baby he got to meet
And for all of us, be grateful, his life is now complete
To each one of us he has loved and cared, And a family, be thankful for the good times we shared
Although he has gone we will always be together, And his spirit will live on each one of us forever
When you look to the sky, look for the brightest star
As that will be Grandpa looking down on us from afar
And now I would like to thank the good Lord above
For blessing us with our Grandpa with his kindness and love
Dear God, if it is not too much fuss
Take extra special care of our Grandpa as he is very dear to us
Grandpa if you are listening say a prayer for us every day
Be sure to protect us and guide us on our way, We know when God called you, you had to go, But we want you to know Grandpa we miss you and love you so

Grandpa, I am really at a lost for words which as you know me that is hard to come by. You are going to be so truly missed by so many lives you have touched. I have so many great memories and one of the best ones is how much you touched Starr and how she will never forget both of you waking up the next day with swelled up eyes from winking so much the night before, I am so blessed that she got to spend that time with you. And on that note here is something from me you that you will understand:
The sun'll come out Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!
I love you Grandpa!
