Looking at my day lilies still producing flowers that you and I planted. Austin was able to collect some of these for his yard, and I brought most here to my new home in Ivins, Utah. I miss you so badly, girlfriend. I was looking forward to growing old together, but I know you are in a great place now, and all worldly trials are done. I love you forever, Frankie!

Frankie I was so looking forward to seeing you again after all these years, since you didn't get home until after I left to go back home to New York. I thought I would see you this summer when we got back to town. We love you and are going to miss you so much, you always were someone very special. I guess that is why you were wanted home so bad. Even though I never got the chance to know the rest of your family I heard alot through Debby over the years and how much she loves all of you. God Bless all of you during this time of loss.

My dearest friend, Frankie...I love you so very, very much! And I miss you even more! Thank-you for the best years of your life, being my friend. Friends are forever, which means we will share this experience once again. Thank-you for your beautiful children that I will continue to cherish, and now the grandkids that you finally got to meet. I love being in the garden that you helped me start so many years ago. Until we meet again, dear friend...
