Frank its been a month and we miss you so much. Our hearts are full of tears. Tomorrows fathers day and on this day it will be so hard to not have you here. You have taught each and everyone of us so much about life and about being good Christians. Every morning I wake up with you on my mind hoping all this was a bad dream. You loved your grandchildren, your son, daughter, wife, sister, brother in law , daughter in law and son in law so much. In return we loved you so much too. Tony lost not only his dad but his best friend. He misses not having to be able to call you or sharing that Sunday race with you. How are we to go on not having you around ? Its hard but we have our faith and our love for one another to get by. You would be proud how we are all comforting each other in this sad time. I could not have had a better father in law. Thank you so much for all you did for all of us. You did so much for each of us. We will never forget you or the warm memories you have left with all of us. We will honor you by helping each other and loving one another as you would have wanted us to do. We know your in Heaven with Our Lord and Savior. Be our guardian angel as we continue to grow older until we meet again. We will love you always. Forever in our Hearts.

Pam,
I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your DAD. I pray you find comfort in knowing that he is truly resting now in the arms of the Lord. During your most difficult days of wanting to talk and see him again, I hope you remember something about him that brings the biggest smile to your face. Just know that God is always there to talk to and his wonderful love and grace will provide you with comfort that no one else can. Praying for your and your family during this difficult time. God Bless You!
