Hay thanks for dropping buy past 6day was confusing. Thank you for helping with figuring everything out neighbor mike

Frankie my cousin,  I always appreciated your kindness and beautiful smile when we seen each other.  Even through the pain you were going through you never hesitated to show the love .  I will miss you primo but we will see each other again.  Love you frankie 

Frankie was a very strong athletic person with a huge heart. Baseball, football and WWF was a conversation I would expect to talk about every time we visited.  I will miss your big smile your laugh and most of all I will miss you cousin. As we got older, the visits were less but the love only grew! It just made it more exciting to see you and your brothers. Always in my heart cousin and one day we will play again like we use too as kids. Te quiero mucho 

Frankie,
 I will always miss your sweet smile.  I treasure the memories we had growing up and I will always hold u in my heart.  I know you are in a more comfy spot, and I can't wait till we meet again. 
Love you, 
Susie

I always have known Francisco by his great personality and was always making people laugh and smile. After school was over I would run into him and he was always so welcoming to see :). Always a crowd favorite on the fields, hallways everywhere he went.  To the family, and friends I will continue praying for u, but mostly thank u to the parents for sharing him to us!! Once a gladiator always a gladiator. Now Frank keep scoring touchdowns up there and save us a seat! Love always Martha class of 2003:) I'll see u later crocodile:) 

Frank,
I don’t know where to start. I have so many memories (most of my stories are slightly inappropriate but if you knew frank well you will def. understand that). Time spent with you was always an adventure and sure to have lots of laughs! The five of us didn’t really ever care what we were doing just as long as we were hanging out together. From movie nights at my house , racing to Friday night football games to see you play, random trips to San Pedro, proms and winter formals, birthday parties, bbqs, pool games , swimming, to watching you and Sam practice for your gigs (shout-out to Hwy  39) So MANY memories that I will forever cherish. You always had a wild spirit but you were always the nicest guy friend I could ever have. I will never forget how you helped me during a time in my life when I was so sad. Even with everything you had on your plate you still managed to be there for me.  You knew how to lift my spirit and make me laugh. I will never forget the friendship we shared. You are one of the best! Till we meet again buddy! 

One of my favorite things about you Frank was your spur of the moment ideas.  Your best one was the time you and Mike spent the night at my house and the next morning we were trying to figure out what to do and you said let’s go to Mexico to eat seafood.  We didn’t think you were serious but sure enough we end up going and having a blast!   After we ate we went to the beach and that’s when we realized we didn’t bring anything to swim in but that didn’t stop you from stripping down to your  boxers and going in the water, Mike and I did the same.  We might have got some weird looks but we didn’t care, we were just out there having fun!  You made me do some things that were out of my comfort zone but I’m glad you did otherwise I would have missed out on some great times!   

Cousin I'm gonna miss your big smile, you always received me with that big O' smile of yours and those beautiful eyes glowing.  Although I wont be able to see your smile I know that your smile continues in heaven. Rest Franky, rest in the arms of our lord❤

Hey Brother just want to start of with saying how much I love and miss you. The house is not the same with out you.  Everything seems different.  I know your gone but you will always be with me. I use to love seeing you play Friday nights.  Sitting in the stands recording you waiting for you to make a play or get flag for something lol.  You always gave it your all that is what made you great.  I miss you bro words can describe how much . I know your in a better place now and that makes me smile. I love you bro #56

I remember when we first moved to Azusa  in 1992.  The first few summers were spent at Zacatecas Park playing over the line with Fred and Danny Centeno, Rudy and David Martinez , Alfred Chavarria and Robert, all my brothers and a few others. We’d play all freaking day from morning till mid afternoon. Times were simple but man were they fun. 

As we got older I would love to go to all of Frank’s games. He played with so much heart . On Friday nights  he was a madman on the football field always making big plays.  I’d go to as many baseball games as I could. I was proud of my “little bro”.  ( I was the smallest brother) I’ll miss you bro! 



You were always kind and friendly to everyone. I was also impressed how intelligent you were. Much love brotha,

Alex Hernandez
