    When I simply say I miss Him I really mean I miss his smile. I miss his voice, I miss his laugh, I miss him being next to me, I miss his jokes, I miss him holding my hand. I miss him teasing me, I miss him so much!!! He was absolutely worth every single moment in my memory. You will always be in my Heart As long as I live. You were my friend, my soulmate and my marvelous husband! You were one of the good ones!!!!

    Melody and Frank became party of family decades ago and what a wonder couple to have as chosen family. Frank has always been so kind and upbeat. We did get to enjoy his great food and company. We’ve all stood by one another’s side through life’s best and not so good times like family does. He’ll be greatly missed. We leave love and support for his sweet Melody.

    A few years ago I met Frank in an interview, after meeting him I knew he was a great guy and directed him to work at the convent. A year ago I also got to transfer to work at the convent and I was so excited to see he was still there and loved to share his love for cooking. He always had a happy grin on his face and we will definitely miss his tough guy facade, but we all knew he had a big heart and we all loved him back.
