Frank LoGalbo was there for me through thick and thin. He was the only one who chose to come to my side in the hardest of times. As hard as I tried and believing Frank would be here forever, I have to overcome disappointing him by transfering my indeptedness to Jennifer, the daughter Frank adored with all his heart. He wished so much for her and in Frank's departure, I will not shirk my responcibility to Frank, as he asked of me. I will honor Frank until the day I die. Thank you Frank. I love you and I will not let you down.
