Frank was a very humble and hard working man. He loved his family more than anything else in the world and above all else cherished his wife Bernadette. Some of his greatest Joy came from being with his grandchildren.

Those we love remain with us

for love itself lives on,

and cherished memories never fade

because a loved one’s gone.

Those we love can never

be more than a thought apart,

far as long as there is memory

they’ll live on in the heart.”
