Dear Joann, Eugene, and family...For a period of time, Frank was a part of my life, and I can remember his orchestrating a dinner so that I could meet you, his mom, and his sister and if you recall, we went to a restaurant up north and he said I made a splash of a good impression on you, because of flowers I gave you. My name is Donald and I was absolutely heartsick finding his obituary...Frank and I became close, and I saw qualities in him that really did shine. I was most proud of his work, and his dedication to others with issues and he had such a wonderful sense of humor.
I do hope that you may receive this email message because I wanted to express my condolences to all of you, as late as I am getting to doing so, for I only found out 2 days back and was so upset over this news. There are endless things I could say about Frank, all good. I am better for having known him and for the involvement we did share.
I hope that he senses my presence and we connect.
I met his best friend Joe many times and we got along well...I labored over writing to you, because I don't want to dredge up upset for you. Surely you have been rather upset. I only wish good things for his memory and that I appreciate fully the simple fact that he and I met, and we became friends and were involved for quite a time. Your son was a very special young man, one I was very happy to know and care for and love. Even when we were no longer involved, we maintained a friendship and continued to support one another. I only wish I knew more to help him because we lost contact, and that was my fault. Please accept my sincere condolences all these months later and know that I thought Frank was a wonderful guy, and friend and mate. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you didn't have to experience all of this loss...
Most sincerely, Donald
