HI "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE!!!! I KNOW IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE WRITTEN, BUT YOU KNOW YOUR ALWAYS ON MY/OUR MINDS. ALOT OF THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING ON HERE, BOB GOT A NEW JOB AT WESTERN DIGITAL, THE LARGEST MAKERS OF FLOPPY DISKS IN THE WORLD, SO HE'LL BE MORE OR LESS BACK INTO HIS ELEMENT, LIKE AT RAYTHEON/FAIRCHILD, WHERE WE WORKED TOGETHER, REMEMBER??? HE STARTS NEXT MONDAY, ONLY IT'S A GRAVEYARD SHIFT, COMPRESSED WORK WEEK AGAIN. HE PREFERES DAY SHIFT, BUT HE'S NOT COMPLAINING, "IT'S A GOOD JOB!!" HE'S BEEN WORKING ON HIS NOVA ALOT, ALMOST FINISHED, NOW HE CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT COLOR HE WANTS TO PAINT IT!! LOL!! YOU KNOW BOB.. PLUS HE'S BEEN DOING THINGS TO THE MUSTANG, BUT THE REPAIRS ARE MINIMAL, NEW VINAL TOP, PAINT & A NEW HOOD, THE ONE WITH THE SMALL SCOOP!!!!! YAAAA!! JUST FOR YOU FRANKIE, OTHERWISE IT'S GOING TO STAY STOCK. WE STARTED IT THE OTHER DAY & THAT BABY STARTED RIGHT UP!!!! OH THE SOUND MADE ME CRY!!! I TOOK SOME PICTURES OF IT BUT I'LL ADD THEM WITH THIS LETTER FOR YOU & GRANDPA HERMAN 
OF COURSE!!! AND YES THE TIRES ON IT ARE YOURS FROM YOUR NOVA WAGON!!
NICOLE'S DOING PRETTY GOOD, EXCEPT SHE'S IN ALOT OF PAIN DUE TO THE FACT SHE HAS DISC PROBLEMS. SHE ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL LAST WEEKEND OVERNIGHT, SHE WAS HAVING CONTRACTIONS, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO STOP THEM, THANK GOD/YOU FOR HELPING, THEY WERE VERY CLOSE TO DOING AN EARLY C-SECTION, BUT THE BABY WOULD HAVE TO STAY IN THE HOSPITAL FOR APPOX. 3 MOS, IN INTENSIVE CARE, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO STOP THEM, AND SENT HER HOME THE NEXT DAY! SO "PLEASE WATCH OVER HER & YOU BABY NEPHEW, O.K.??" AND THE GOOD LORD ALSO.       
THE GIRLS ARE DOING "FANTASTIC" IN GYMNASTICS AND GIANNA IS REALLY DOING GOOD IN SCHOOL!!! SOFIA IS HOME SCHOOLED CUZ THEY HAVE NO ROOM FOR SO MANY KIDS, BUT SHE'S DOING GOOD AT IT ALSO. THEY MOVED TO ANEW PLACE, BUT HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET, IT STARTED REALLY STORMING HERE & NICOLE TOLD ME NOT TO COME CUZ SHE DIDN'T WANT ME DRIVING ALONE IN THE RAIN/WIND.
WELL "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE, I'LL START MY CLOSING NOW.
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE/MISS YOU EVERY MINUTE, AND I FEEL SAD SO MUCH YOU WON'T BE HERE WHWN YOUR NEPHEW IS BORN TO HOLD HIM AS YOU DID WITH BOTH THE GIRLS. BUT YOU'VE ALREADY HELD HIM I'M SURE IN HEAVEN AS DID THE LORD, IT'S JUST GOING TO BE DIFFERENT THAT'S ALL.
FOREVER IN MY THOUGHTS, HEART, EVERYDAY MEMORIES & MISSING YOU.
FOREVER MY/OUR LOVE & MISSING YOU, FOREVER YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF ME AND IN MY HEART!!!
ALL MY LOVE FOREVER, MOM XXOXXOXOXO

HI "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE!!!! I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE BEEN SAYING YOUR PRAYERS AND SITTING ON PEOPLES SHOULDERS ALL DAY, FOR ALL THOSE BRAVE MEN/WOMEN WE LOST IN 9-11-01 AND TODAY IS THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THAT TERRIFYING DAY. THERE WERE THE MOST AWSOME PROGRAMS THIS MORNING ON IT, IT WAS VERY MOVING& HEART BREAKING.
I STILL REMEMBER YOU CALLING ME & TELLING ME YOU WERE GOING TO ENLIST IN THE NAVY AND BECOME A NAVY SEAL, JUST LIKE YOUR UNCLE CRAIG!! I WAS IN A DAZE, SAYING HAVE YOU TALKED TO YOUR DAD ABOUT THIS??? WHAT ABOUT TRACIE, DOES SHE KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?? NO AFTER WORK YOU COME OVER HERE AND WE'LL SIT DOWN & TALK ABOUT IT. BOB'S HERE AND ANYONE ELSE CAN COME OVER AND WE CAN ALL TALK ABOUT IT TOGETHER, AND YOU SAID NOONE WAS CHANGING YOUR MIND!! YOU WERE BOUND AND DETERMINED TO ENLIST. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ENLISTING, BUT NOT IN HASTE AND YOU WERE THE LAST TO CARRY ON THE CUDIA NAME. YES, SELFISHLY I DID NOT WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO YOU!! IT MADE ME "CRAZY" WHEN UNCLE CRAIG WENT IN AND BECAME A SEAL, AND THAT WAS AT THE END OF THE VIET NAM WAR. AND THEN HE GOT STATIONED AT GTMO, CUBA. THE THINGS HE SAW & HAD TO DO WERE THINGS I KNOW HE IS STILL DEALING WITH BUT WILL NEVER KNOW. HE HAS NEVER TALKED TO ANY OF US ABOUT IT. THEN AFTER EVERYONE GAVE YOU THEIR INPUT, YOU HAD TO MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICE, LIKE BOB & I SAID, ULTIMATELY IT WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR OWN DECISION AND WE WILL ALWAYS BACK YOU AND BE THERE FOR YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU DECIDE. AND AFTER A FEW DAYS YOU DECIDED AGAINST IT, BUT WERE STILL KEEPING YOUR MIND ON THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THAT YOU WOULD CHANGE YOUR MIND, AND YOU SAID, "IT WOULD BE YOUR DECISION ALONE, NOONE ELSES!!!" OH YOU WERE HOT UNDER THE COLLAR!!! WOW!! BUT THIS COUNTRY STOOD STRONG, ALWAYS HAS ALWAYS WILL, AND THISE LIVES WE LOST WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. ALWAYS REMEMBERED!!
WELL I'M GOING TO SPEND A FEW DAYS AT NICOLE'S. I'M GOING TUES. MORNING & COMING BACK ON SAT. I FINALLY GET TO WATCH THE GIRLS IN GYMNASTICS!!! YAHHH!!! I AM SO EXCITED!! I'LL BE TAKING A TON OF PICTURES WHILE I'M THERE. OF EVERYBODY!!! EVEN YOU LITTLE SISTER & HER TUMMY!!! SHE'S GAINED MAYBE A LB. OR 2, BUT THAT'S IT, SHE'S ALL BABY BOY!!!!!! WHOOHOO!! I KNOW YOU'VE ALREADY HELD HIM, YOU GOT TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST ONE'S.. AND I KNOW YOU LOOKED AT HIM WITH THE SAME LOVING LOOK THAT YOU GAVE GIANNA/SOFIA, AND I HAVE THE PICTURES, IF YOU WEREN'T WEARING A DIFFERENT HAT/SHIRT (BOTH BLACK, WITH BOTH GIRLS) YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW WHICH WAS WHICH! I ALSO FOUND A PICTURE OF YOU HOLDING MELISSA AND LOOKING AT HER IN THE SAME WAY. I COULDN'T BELEIVE IT, WHEN ISSA WAS BORN YOU KEPT CALLING ME AT WORK FROM SCHOOL, "DID AUNTIE HAVE THE BABY YET, DID AUNTIE HAVE THE BABY YET?? AND THE 3RD TIME YOU CALLED ME I SAID "YES!! IT'S A GIRL & EVERYBODIES FINE!! AND YOU TOLD ME TO COME PICK YOU UP FROM SCHOOL AFTER WORK, YOU WERE GOING TO THE HOSPITAL WITH ME!!!" YOU NEVER MISSED OUT ON ANY OF THE BIRTHS, YOU WERE EVEN AT LITTLE JOHN LEIMER'S!!! WOW! YOU NEVER WANTED TO MISS OUT, YOU ALWAYS LOVED THOSE KIDS.. AND YOU WERE THERE FOR TREVOR'S AND ONLY YOU WERE IN THE ROOM WITH AUNTIE, UNCLE SHAWNE & NICOLE!!!!! 
TALKED TO YOUR DAD, HE SOUNDED REALLY GOOD, LOOKING FOR WORK, JUST LIKE BOB. HIS COMPANY FILED CHAPTER 11, BUT HE'S ALWAYS POSITIVE, AND ALREADY HAS ALOT OF GOOD LEADS. JASON'S HANGING IN THERE JUST YOU & MATTIE KEEP AN EYE ON HIM, AND KEEP HIM SAFE!!!!
WELL IT WAS JOHN & NICOLE'S 7TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TODAY!!! CAN YOU BELEIVE HOW FAST TIME HAS GONE!!?? I CAN'T, SO MANY THINGS STILL SEEM LIKE YESTERDAY.
WELL "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE, I'LL START CLOSING NOW. I HAVE ALOT OF PICTURES TO ADD, BUT I'LL DO THAT ON ANOTHER DAY.
YOU WILL LIVE ON FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS, THOUGHTS, OUR EVERDAY. YOU ARE & NEVER WILL BE FORGOTTEN. 
FOREVER AND ALWAYS IN MY HEART AND THOUGHTS "MY BABY BOY" I LOVE YOU & MISS YOU STILL SO VERY MUCH, BUT I DO KNOW YOU'LL NEVER BE GONE.

WELL GOOD MORNING "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE!!!! TODAY IS AUG.6,2001, IT IS GIANNA'S 9TH B-DAY AND 17 YRS. SINCE GR. HERMAN DIED. PLEASE GRANDPA A "HUG HUG & KISS ON THE CHEEK FROM ME!" I STILL MISS HIM, AS I DO YOU. 
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN I CALLED & TOLD YOU NICOLE WAS IN LABOR & YOU TOLD ME TO PICK YOU UP AT WORK IN AN HOUR? YOU GOT SOMEONE TO COVER FOR YOU, BUT YOU HAD ALREADY TOLD THEM THAT WHEN YOUR SISTER GOES INTO LABOR, YOU WERE GOING TO TAKE OFF WORK  SO YOU COULD BE THERE? SO YOU & I DROVE TO SANTA CRUZ HOSPITAL, YOU BROUGHT YOUR COMPUTER AND TALKED TO PEOPLE AT WORK, SO YOU STILL GOT YOUR WORK DONE. IT WAS THE 8TH ANNIVERSARY OF GR. HERMAN DIED, AND WE WERE THERE WHEN SHE DELIVERED, EXACTLY ONE HOUR AFTER THE TIME GR. DIED. AND YOU HUGGED ME SO TIGHT AND SAID "NOW MOM THIS IS A GOOD DAY!!" I WILL NEVER FORGET THOSE WORDS FROM YOU & WE CRIED TOGETHER. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I WAS SO HAPPY & THANKFUL THAT YOU TOOK THE TIME OFF OF WORK TO BE THERE FOR NICOLE/JOHN, IT MENT MORE THAN YOU KNEW TO NICOLE THAT YOU WERE WITH ME. SHE WAS SO HAPPY HER BROTHER DROPPED EVERYTHING TO BE THERE FOR THE BIRTH OF GIANNA. AND YOU WERE THERE FOR WHEN SOFIA WAS BORN, BUT YOU CAME LATER CUZ SHE HAD TO HAVE A C-SECTION & WAS OUT OF IT FOR SEVERAL HOURS, BUT YOU TOLD ME TO BE SURE & CALL YOU AND LET YOU KNOW IT WAS A GIRL AND EVERYONE WAS HEALTHY & DOING GOOD. YOU CAME LATER THAT AFTERNOON. I HAVE THE PICTURES OF YOU HOLDING BOTH GIANNA/SOFIA AFTER THEY WERE BORN & THE WAY YOU LOOKED AT BOTH OF THEM WAS WITH SUCH LOVE & PRIDE. THEY ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL PICTURES. WE WON'T BE ABLE TO GET A PICTURE OF YOU WITH THE NEW BABY, NOT PHYSICALLY ANYWAY, BUT WE DO! KNOW YOU WILL BE RIGHT THERE ON THAT BABIE'S SHOULDER AND IN IT'S HEART.
HAVEN'T BEEN SLEEPING MUCH, NO MATTER HOW TIRED I AM, BUT I GO THROUGH THESE TIMES WHEN I DON'T, BUT I'LL GET BACK INTO MY ROUTINE AGAIN, MAYBE IT WAS JUST I KEPT THINKING ABOUT DAD AND HOW MUCH I MISS HIM. BUT LIKE YOU HE'S ALWAYS IN MY HEART, THOUGHTS & TALKING ABOUT HIM ALSO. AND THEN WITH HANK DYING, IT JUST OVERWHELMS ME, I GUESS. 
WELL I'LL CLOSE FOR NOW, YOUR FOREVER IN MY HEART, THOUGHTS, EVRYTHING I DO & THINK OF, YOU ALWAYS POP INTO MY HEAD, JUST LIKE GR. HERMAN. BOB & I ARE GOING TO NICOLE/JOHN'S TOMORROW FOR GIANNA'S B-DAY, JUST FAMILY. THEY ARE PUTTING A BID ON THE HOUSE THEY FOUND ON MONDAY, SO KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED THEY ACCEPT THEIR OFFER.
ALL MY LOVE FOREVER & ALWAYS "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE XOXOXXO
MOM

HI "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE. I'M GOING TO ADD SOME MORE PICTURES OF NANA AND GILLY (BOB'S REAL DAD) I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE OCCASION WAS, MAYBE WHEN THEY GOT MARRIED, BUT I'LL HAVE TO ASK AUNTIE SUSIE AGAIN, AND THE OTHERS ARE OF THE 3 BOYS LAST WEEKEND & NANA. HOPED YOU LIKED THE LAST SET OF PICTURES, THEY WERE GREAT, I THINK. NICOLE WENT TO THE DR'S TODAY AND BOTH HER & THE BABY ARE DOING GREAT!!!!! SHE'S "4 MONTHS PREGNATE!!" SO THE DR. SHOWED THE GIRLS THE LITTLE HANDS, LEGS HEART BEAT & HOW THE HEART BEAT & CORD BEAT TOGETHER. THEY "LOVED IT", CUZ THE DR. EXPLAINED ALL OF THE BABY TO THEM. THEY DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE SEX OF THE BABY, THEY ALL WANT TO JUST WAIT & SEE. HER WEIGHT IS GREAT & BLOOD PRESSURE ALSO. THANK THE LORD. WE'LL BE GOING TO SEE THEM ON SUNDAY WHEN BOB'S OFF WORK. SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE PICTURE OF IT'S DEVELOPMENT. HE ALSO SHOWED THE FACE, BUT STILL TO SOON TO ACTUALLY SEE, IT KEPT MOVING, BUT THEY DID SEE WHAT LOOKED LIKE THE BABY WAS SUCKING IT'S THUMB. SO EVERYTHING IS GOING GREAT, KEEP WATCH OVER HER & ALL OF THEM, BUT I REALLY DIDN'T NEED TO SAY THAT BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW YOU & THE LORD ARE ALREADY DOING THAT. BUT THANK YOU!!!
NANA IS DOING O.K. SO FAR, BUT LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT, IT HASN'T REALLY HIT HER YET.
WELL, I'M GOING TO CLOSE FOR NOW SO I CAN ADD THE PICTURES.
FOREVER IN MY/OUR THOUGHTS, HEART, EVERYDAY MISSING YOU & TALK ABOUT YOU. (GIANNA IS REALLY SO MUCH LIKE YOU, SHE DOES THINGS THAT YOU USED TO DO AS A KID, IT'S FUNNY & AMAZING!!!")
FOREVER MY LOVE & MEMORIES.
ALL MY LOVE FOREVER "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE. MOM XOXOXOX

HI "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE!!! I KNOW IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE WRITTEN TO YOU, BUT "ALOT" HAS BEEN GOING ON. HANK PASSED AWAY ON JULY 29,2011 AT 11:08 A.M. BUT HE WAS TIRED AND HIS KIDNEYS WERE FAILING, BUT WANTED NO DIALASIS, HE SAID IT'S HIS TIME AND HE LIVED A GOOD LIFE. I'M SURE YOU ALREADY KNEW, BECAUSE YOU WERE ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO GREETED HIM BESIDES HIS MOM/DAD & FRIENDS WHO LEFT BEFORE HIM, AND THE LORD WAS FIRST THOUGH. IT'S BEEN PRETTY ROUGH ON NANA, THEY WERE TOGETHER FOR 19 YRS. AND SHE STAYED HOME & TOOK CARE OF HIM, AND HOSPICE CAME IN 3 TIMES A WEEK & SHAVED HIM, ETC. BUT SHE WASN'T ALONE WHEN HE WENT, UNCLE GLENN & AUNTIE LAURIE WERE WITH HER & MAYBE UNCLE GORDON, CUZ THE GUYS WERE PAINTING NANA'S HOUSE FOR HER. IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!!!! HANK WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL MAN, AND HE ALWAYS TOLD ME, "YOU ARE/WERE SUCH A NICE YOUNG MAN." I ALWAYS CALLED HIM "HANK THE HUNK" HE WAS SUCH A SPECIAL MAN. SO GIVE HIM A BIG HUG FROM US AND TELL HIM WE MISS HIM & WILL NEVER FORGET HIM. I CALLED NANA ON SAT. TTO SEE HOW SHE WAS DOING & SHE SAID O.K., THEN SHE ASKED ME TO COME DOWN & SO I PACKED SOME THINGS AND STAYED UNTIL MONDAY. THEN ON SUNDAY BOB RODE HIS HARLEY DOWN & SURPRISED US ALL. THE GARLIC FESTIVAL WAS GOING ON & HE SAID TRAFFIC WAS BAD!! AND EVEN WORST GOING HOME. THEN ON MONDAY GLENN WAS GOING BACK HOME, BUT NOT UNTIL 6:30 P.M. SO HE TOOK GLENN & GORDON FISHING, GLENN CAME HOME WITH HIM & BOB TOOK HIM TO THE AIRPORT. IT WAS GREAT, ALL 3 BOYS WERE THERE, SUSIE CAME BY, GOT TO HAVE BREAKFAST WITH EVERYONE ON SUNDAY AND THEN I WENT TO CHURCH WITH NANA & MICHAEL, HE LOVES CHURCH AND IS VERY INVOLVED WITH IT. HE HAS STARTED PLAYING FOOTBALL, AND THE COACH SAYS HE HAS ALOT OF POTENTIAL. THEY AREN'T SURE WHAT POSITION YET, BUT THEY ARE LEANING TOWARDS LINEBACKER. GOOD POSITION FOR HIM I THINK, GETS THAT "MASSIVE ENERGY OUT!!" SO AFTER CHURCH & THE GREAT LUNCH THEY SERVE, WE DID SOME WORK FOR NANA, PULLING WEEDS, AND HE MOWED THE LAWN FOR HER, HE LOVES TO DO THAT, BUT CAN'T AT HOME, CUZ THEY HAVE AN ELECTRIC MOWER. HE REALLY IS SUCH A GREAT KID.
GIANNA & SOFIA START SCHOOL ON THE 10TH OF THIS MONTH, THEY ARE REALLY EXCITED. JOHN & NICOLE ARESTILL LOOKING AT HOUSES. CINDY & DAWN ALREADY MOVED INTO THE HOUSE THAT CINDY BOUGHT, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!! AND IT HAS A BEAUTIFUL POOL IN THE BACK YARD. SO AS HOT AS IT GETS IN MANTECA THE GIRLS WILL BE ABLE TO GO SWIMMING!!!! NICOLE GOES TO THE DR'S TODAY, AND SHE'LL CAL & LET ME KNOW WHAT HE SAYS & HOW SHE'S DOING. WE'RE GOING THERE SUN. FOR GIANNA'S 9TH BIRTHDAY!!!!! AND IN 4TH GRADE NOW & SOFIA KINDERGARDEN & 5YRS. OLD. WOW, CAN YOU BELEIVE IT??!!!! I HAVE "LOTS" OF PICTURES I'LL BE POSTING IN YOUR BOOK WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK.
WELL "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE, I'LL BE WRITING AGAIN IN THE NEXT DAY OR 2, BUT DEFINATELY ON LATE FRIDAY NIGHT OR EARLY SAT. MORNING.
I WANT TO WRITE A PRAYER BEFORE I CLOSE.
    GOD'S GARDEN
GOD LOOKED AROUND HIS GARDEN
AND FOUND AN EMPTY PLACE.
HE THEN LOOKED DOWN UPON THE EARTH,
AND SAW YOUR TIRED FACE.
HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU
AND LIFTED YOU TO REST.
GOD'S GARDEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL
HE ALWAYS TAKES THE BEST.
HE KNEW THAT YOU WERE SUFFERING
HE KNEW YOU WERE IN PAIN
HE KNEW THAT YOU WOULD NEVER
GET WELL ON EARTH AGAIN.
HE SAW THE ROAD WAS GETTING ROUGH,
AND THE HILLS WERE HARD TO CLIMB.
SO HE CLOSED YOUR WEARY EYELIDS,
AND WHISPERED "PEACE BE THINE."
IT BRIKE OUR HEARTS TO LOOSE YOU
BUT YOU DIDN'T GO ALONE
FOR PART OF US WENT WITH YOU
THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME.

I KNOW I'VE WRITTEN THAT TO YOU BEFORE BUT IT'S FOR YOU & HANK & BONNIE, OUR HEARTS WILL NOT FORGET.
FOREVER IN MY HEART, EVERYDAY THOUGHTS, PRAYERS & THINGS WE TALK ABOUT YOU. YOU'LL ALWAYS BE ALIVE, FOR FORGETTING WILL NEVER HAPPEN. I KNOW MY HEART IS HEAVY AT THIS TIME AND VERY SAD, BUT THE HOLE WILL NOT BE FILLED, EVER AGAIN FOR YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND. YOU ARE & ALWAYS WILL BE OUR ANGEL ON OUR SHOULDERS, TO GUIDE & HELP US ALL. THANK YOU FOR JUST ALWAYS BEING YOU.
FOREVER I WILL MISS YOU "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE.
FOREVER & ALWAYS MY LOVE WILL NEVER CHANGE OR GO AWAY, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE. YOU ARE OUR "SPECIAL ANGEL."
ALL MY LOVE FOREVER, MOM XOOXOOXXOXOXO

HI "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE!!!! WELL I GUESS IT'S ANOTHER B-DAY PARTY UP THERE FOR YOUR GR. HARRY!!!!! TELL HI I SAID, HAPPY BIRTHDAY & GIVE HIM A BIG HUG. THIS IS ALSO THE DAY YOUR DAD & I GOT MARRIED 7-16-77, WOULD HAVE BEEN 34 YRS. BUT EVERY YEAR I LOOK AT THE WEDDING PICTURES. THE CUDIA'S & DIGAROLIMO'S ARE A WONDER FAMILY THAT I STILL MISS & STILL HAVE SO "MANY, MANY GREAT MEMORIES, THAT I'LL NEVER FORGET. HOPE YOU HAVE FUN!!!!!!!! AND I KNOW YOU WILL!!!
WELL I ALSO HAVE SOME EXTREMELY HAPPY, HAPPY NEWS FOR YOU. NICOLE & JOHN ARE PREGNATE!!!!!! WHOOHOOO!!! THEY ARE SO EXCITED, AND SO ARE THE GIRLS. THEY WEREN'T TRYING OR PLANNING FOR ANY MORE, BUT GUESS WHAT, GOD HAS BLESS THEM WITH A NEW BABY ON THE WAY. SHE'S ABOUT 9 WEEKS ALONG, & JUST VERY TIRED. THEY ALL WENT TO THE ULTRA SOUND, AND HEARD THE HEART BEAT, THE DR. SAID IT IS "A VERY STRONG HEART BEAT!!!" AND WHEN THE GIRLS SAW THE BABY WHICH REALLY DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ONE YET, GIANNA SAID "IT LOOKS LIKE A SLUG!!!" EVREYONE LAUGHED.SOFIA SAID SHE WANTS A LITTLE SISTER, BUT GIANNA SAID NO WAY IT'S GOING TO BE A BABY BROTHER, WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER SISTER. BUT LIKE JOHN & NICOLE SAID AS LONG AS IT'S HEALTHY THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS, THEY'D LOVE TO HAVE A BOY, BUT WE'LL SEE. BUT NICOLE IS IN PERFECT HEALTH, DID ALL THE BLOOD WORK, ETC. BUT SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN IN GREAT HEALTH WITH HER BABIES. JOHN IS SO EXCITED!!! HIS JOB IS SECURE NOW, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY MAY BE GETTING THE HOUSE THEY PICKED OUT, I THINK SHE SAID IN TRACY, SHE DOESN'T LIKE THE SCHOOLS AT ALL IN MANTECA. JOHN'S MOM GOT HER HOUSE AND IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL FROM THE PICTURES, AND NICOLE SAID IT'S AMAZING! SO THINGS ARE GOING VERY GREAT FOR YOUR SISTER & HER FAMILY!!!!! I KNOW YOUR PROUD OF THEM, AND YOU KNEW I'M SURE ABOUT THE BABY BEFORE THEY DID. DID YOU ASK THE LORD OR MENTION TO HIM THAT MAYBE THIS WOULD MAKE "EVERYTHING COMPLETE FOR THEM??!!" EITHER WAY, I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING OVER THEM. THANK YOU.
AND NOW FOR A BIT OF SAD NEWS, I KNOW I TOLD YOU ABOUT AUNTIE CAROLS HUSBANDS SISTER WHO WAS DIAGNOSED A WEEK AFTER AUNTIE/JAMES GOT MARRIED WITH STAGE 4 GBM, AND I KNOW YOU WERE THERE WHEN SHE ENTERED HEAVEN ON JULY12,2011, JUST THIS PAST TUESDAY. SHE TALKED TO THEM THE SUNDAY BEFORE AND 67 DAYS LATER SHE JUST WENT TO SLEEP LIKE YOU DID. SO AUNTIE IS RELIVING WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOU ALL OVER AGAIN SHE SAID. THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE VERY HARD, BECAUSE SHE'S THINKING OF YOU ALSO.BONNIE WAS A VERY NICE PERSON. WILL YOU GIVE HER A BIG HUG FROM ALL OF HER FAMILY THEY ARE REALLY HAVING A "ROUGHT" TIME OF IT. I KNOW SHE AND JAMES FAMILY WOULD LOVE IT. GOD BLESS YOU FRANKIE "MY BABY BOY" FOR ALL YOU DO FOR US ALL.
I GUESS I'LL START MY CLOSING NOW, BUT WILL ADD 1 PICTURE, THEN I'LL COME BACK AND ADD MORE. HAVE LOTS TO SHOW YOU. OH YA, I TALKED TO YOUR DAD & TOLD HIM, AND HE WAS VERY HAPPY, GIANNA & SOFIA CALL HIM GRANDPA FRANK. AND BE SURE I CALLED TO TELL YOU. AND WE TALKED FOR A WHILE & LIKE WE AGREED THEY ARE LIKE HIS GR.KIDS CUZ YOUR HIS SISTER AND DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE THEY'D CALL HIM. BUT HE SAID NO PROBLEM, HE'D BE HAPPY IF THEY DID, THEY ARE A PART OF YOU CUZ YOU HAVE THE SAME MOM. YOUR DAD IS STAYING BUSY, SO THAT'S GOOD.
ANYWAY, FOREVER IN MY HEART, THOUGHTS, EVREYDAY I TALK ABOUT YOU OR SOMETHING IS SAID ABOUT YOU, YOU WILL FOREVER BE MISSED, BUT "NEVER FORGOTTEN!"

I GOT TO TALK TO UNCLE KEVIN & JOHN ON UNCLE KEVIN'S BIRTHDAY. HE NEEDS NEW FLAGS FOR HIS PLACE & USUALLY I BRING THEM UP, BUT THIS YR. I'LL BE MAILING THEM. HE SOUNDED GREAT. JOHN'S WORKING 2 JOBS, IN THE A.M. HE WORKS AT THE MARINA THEN COMES HOME, SHOWER CHANGES AND OFF TO GENENTEC. (WHERE UNCLE KEVIN WORK'S BUT 2 TOTALLY DIFFERENT JOBS.) JOHN'S GIRLFRIEND IS GOING TO SUMMER SCHOOL.

WE WENT OVER TO AUNTIE'S CUZ GIANNA'S BEEN WANTING TO SEE HER & THE KIDS, AND WE HAD A BLAST. OMA & OPA WERE THERE & THEY TOLD HER IT WAS O.K.

ALL MY LOVE FRANKIE, MOM XOOXOXXOOOX

HI "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE!!!! I MISS YOU ALOT, AND LOVE YOU MORE. I PUT SOME PICTURES IN OF DEBBIE & BOBBY GRAVES, SHE ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU WERE SO CUTE AND WOULD JUST HUG & KISS YOU, AND ALWAYS MAKE YOU SAY YOUR NAME, CUZ WHEN YOU WERE  LITTLE YOU'D SAY IT FRANKIE YOSEF LADIA!!!! IT WAS SO CUTE. BUT ALSO IN THE PICTURES ARE OF BOBBIE'S 1/2 BROTHER MICHAEL. WOW THEY LOOK ALIKE!!! ALSO OF THERESA'S FINISHED TATTOO AND HER LITTLE GIRL EVA'S GRADUATION FROM PRE-SCHOOL TO KINDERGARDEN!!! WOW THEY GROW UP FAST.
GIANNA & SOFIA WERE HERE LAST WEEK FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND SOFIA WANTED TO HAVE HER TRAINING WHEELS TAKEN OFF AND RIDE A 2 WHEELER, SO I TOOK THEM OFF, GOT HER STEDIED, AND LET GO (SHE DIDN'T KNOW I DID) GOT TO THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY STOPPED AND LOOKED UP LIKE I WAS STILL THERE AND SHE COULDN'T BELEIVE SHE DID IT ALL ON HER OWN!!! SO SHE TURNED HER BIKE AROUND AND RODE BACK TO ME, IT WAS PERFECT!!!!! GIANNA & PAPA WERE SO PROUD OF HER, THEY WERE IN THE HOUSE, SO WE WENT & GOT THEM TO SHOW. SO THE GIRLS REALLY HAD FUN RIDING TOGETHER, I BLOCK THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE TRUCK SO NOONE CAN PULL IN & THEY DON'T GET OUT INTO THE STREET. BUT WE HAD A BLAST!!!
RICK IS DOING MUCH BETTER!!! THANK GOD..IT WAS "VERY SCARY" THERE FOR THOSE COUPLE OF DAYS. THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO LOOSE HIM, BUT NOT YET, HIS TIME IS NOT FINISHED HERE YET. AND I KNOW SIG & THE KIDS & ME AREN'T READY FOR HIM TO GO. WE HAVE TO GO TO RUTH LAKE AND DO SOME FISHIN, AND FLOATIN IN THE LAKE (WITH OUR VERSTS ON) REMEMBER HOW WE USED TO DO THAT WHEN YOU KIDS WERE GROWING UP?? BOY WE HAD FUN CAMPING, WATERSKIING, AND WAKEBOARDING,  DIDN'T WE??? YES WE DID!! AND PLAYING HORSE SHOES, BUT YOU KIDS WERE USUALLY OFF RIDING YOUR BIKES. IT WAS ALWAYS FUN ON THE WAY UP PLAYING OUR TAPES AND SINGING ALONG, JUST BEING GOOFY. BUT  THAT'S WHAT GROWING UP, A PART OF IT IS, JUST DOING FUN GOOFY THINGS!!
I'M ALSO WRITING TO TELL YOU I TALKED TO JOSH TODAY AND HE WAS UP AGAINST 3 OTHER CHEF'S FOR THE POSITION OF HEAD CHEF, AND "HE GOT IT!!!!! HE'S THE HEAD CHEF AT HIS RESTAURANT!!!" YYAAHHHH!! I TOLD HIM AT YOUR B-DAY HE COULD DO IT AND GET THE POSITION, NOT JUST BECAUSE OF HOW GOOD HE IS, BUT THAT YOU'D BE LOOKING AFTER HIM, AND HE SAID "YEP, HE WILL." SO HE ASKED IF ONE OF THESE SUNDAY'S WE'D BE FREEE TO COME SEE THEIR HOUSE AND PLAY WITH THE KIDS AGAIN, AND MAYBE COOK SOMETHING. NOT THIS SUNDAY THOUGH, CUZ IT'S FATHER'S DAY AND HE SAID IT REALLY HAS MEANING TO HIM NOW THAT HE'S A DAD. I KNOW FRANKIE YOU'S FEEL THE SAME WAY. JOSH ALSO SAID NOW HE CAN PROVIDE FOR HISFAMILY IN THE WAY "HE" WANTS TO PROVIDE, AND I REMEMBER YOU SAYING THAT SAME THING, WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT MOVING.
OOPS, I ALREADY TOLD YOU ABOUT SOFIA & RIDING HE BIKE, SORRY. OH WELL I'M OLD..
YESTERDAY WAS A ROUGH DAY FOR ME, IT WAS THE DAY OF YOUR ACCIDENT, AND YOU FINALLY CAME AROUD ON SUNDAY FATHERS DAY. AND YOU SAID "OH SORRY TO YOUR DAD & BOB BUT YOU DIDN'T GET THEM A CARD!!! WE ALL LAUGHED AND THEY SAID "YOU WERE THEIR FATHERS DAY PRESENT." YOU WOULD HAVE MADE A "GREAT DAD FRANKIE, IF YOU'D HAVE HAD THE CHANCE." YOU DID AT ONE TIME, BUT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN HERE, AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORST, NOT HAVING YOU HERE TO RAISE "YOUR CHILD"... YOU REALLY WANTED KIDS I REMEMBER YOU TALKING TO ME SO MUCH ABOUT IT AND "HOW STOKED YOU WERE TO BE TRYING!" YOUR WORDS. BUT GOD HAD OTHER PLANS FOR YOU, NOT FAIR BUT I'M GETTING SOMEWHAT BETTER AT ACCEPTING SOME THINGS. 
I'M GOING TO BE DOWNLOADING MORE PICTURES, OF MELISSA, AND DEE DEE (DEBBIE'S SISTER) WHO WAS IN MY CLASS AND ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS IN HIGH SCHOOL. IT'S BEEN SO MUCH FUN RECONNECTING WITH CERTAIN PEOPLE, AND THINGS WE DID AND SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE, LIKE SKIPPING CLASS, AND COVERING FOR EACHOTHER. WE HAD A BLAST IN HIGH SCHOOL. THEY BOTH LIVE UP BY AUBURN, SO AS SOON AS I CAN DRIVE THAT FAR AGAIN, I'M GOING UP FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND SPEND WITH DEE DEE AND SEE DEBBIE AND EVERYONE. AND MEET HER GRANDBABIES AND DEBBIE'S TOO. WE'LL HAVE SO MUCH FUN JUST TALKING ABOUT THINGS. AND IT WAS IN H.S. THAT I MET RICK & SIG AND USED TO BABYSIT FOR THEM THAT'S HOW SIG & I GOT TO BE SO CLOSE AND RICK'S MOM WORKED AT THE SCHOOL ALSO. SO WE ALL KNOW EACHOTHER IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
BUT I JUST HAD TO TELL YOU ABOUT JOSH. I KNOW YOUR VERY PROUD OF HIM ALSO, AND HE AND ALEXANDRA ARE WONDERFUL PARENTS. THEY'RE A REAL GREAT FAMILY, WHO ENJOY BEING A FAMILY AND DOING THINGS ALL TOGETHER.
WELL I'LL WRITE AGAIN IN A DAY OR SO, FOR FATHERS DAY. SO I'LL START CLOSING NOW.
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE & MISS YOU "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE. YES I STILL CRY AND GET ANGRY THAT YOU GOT SUCH AN AGGRESSIVE CANCER, ANY CANCER AT ALL, BUT THERE ARE THINGS WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. IT'S JUST SAD THAT PEOPLE DON'T STAY IN TOUCH OR WANT TO, BUT NOT ALOT I CAN DO ABOUT THAT ONE. I JUST MISS THEM THAT'S ALL.
FOREVER IN MY HEART, THOUGHTS, EVERYTHING I DO & SAY, AND TALK ABOUT YOU AT "LEAST" A COUPLE TIMES A DAY. THE HOLE LEFT IN MY HEART WHEN YOU LEFT WILL NEVER BE FILLED, BUT THE GIRLS SURE DO HELP ME SMILE, THEY'RE GETTING SO BIG FRANKIE, I JUST WISH YOU WERE HERE IN PERSON TO PLAY WITH THEM AND SEE ALL THE THINGS THEY DO, BUT I KNOW YOUR WATCHING OVER THEM, AND SITTTING ON THEIR SHOULDERS AS YOU ARE OURS, IT'S GOOD TO KNOW YOUR THERE.
FOREVER MY LOVE "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE. I'LL ALWAYS MISS YOU.
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU & MISS YOU.
MOM XOXOOXOXOOXOXOXOXO

 HI "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE!!! I HAVE A TON MORE PICTURES TO DOWNLOAD IN YOUR BOOK.AND I WILL ONCE I'M DONE WRITING TO YOU. RICK IS DOING REALLY GOOD, TAKING IT SLOW, BUT IMPROVES EACH DAY. SIG GOES TO WORK AROUND 10:00 EACH MORNING. SHE GET'S RICK ALL SET UP, ETC. BEFORE SHE GOES. HE'S ALREADY BEEN BACK TO THE DR.'S AND IT WAS AN ALL DAY THING, SO HE WAS PRETTY TIRED WHEN THEY GOT HOME FINALLY!!! BRANDON & SHELBY LYNN CAME UP THE WEEKEND I CAME BACK HOME. IT WAS GOOD FOR ALL 4 OF THEM TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH JUST RICK & SIG, THEY ALL SLEPT IN THE LIVINGROOM (RICK'S REAL COMFY IN HIS CHAIR) AND SIG SLEEPS ON THE COUCH IN CASE HE NEEDS ANYTHING & THE KIDS CAMPED OUT ON THE FLOOR. THEY HAD A REALLY GREAT TIME!!!!
I PICKED THE GIRLS UP ON WED. AND THE 1ST THING I DID WAS TAKE THE TRAINING WHEELS OFF OF SOFIA'S BIKE. SHE'S BEEN WANTING THEM OFF, SO I DID & 1ST TRY, I HELPED HER GET HER BALANCE AND WITHOUT HER KNOWING LET GO & JUST WATCHED HE RIDE AWAY DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. SHE WAS SO "SHOCKED" THAT I WAS STANDING BY THE GATE , THAT SHE DIDN'T REALIZE SHE WAS RIDING ALL BY HERSELF, AND SHE WAS SO PROUD OF HERSELF!!! SHE RAN IN & TOLD PAPA & GIANNA TO COME WATCH HER, AFTER THE 3RD TIME RIDING, SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS SO "COOL" THAT SHE WAS JUST WHISTELING AWAY AS SHE WAS RIDING HER BIKE. JUST LIKE A PRO!!!! SHE WAS TO FUNNY!!! GIANNA & PAPA WERE SO EXCITED & PROUD OF HER, JUST AS I WAS , LET ALONE PROUD OF HERSELF. SHE FELL ONE TIME & RODE THAT BIKE, EVERYDAY!!!! WE'VE HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH THEM, THEY WERE SO RELAXED, IT WAS GREAT. BOB HAS TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE PICTURES AREN'T DOWNLOADING WHERE THEY SHOULD, LET ALONE WHERE THEY ARE WHEN WE DID DOWNLOAD THEM, I GOT SO "GREAT PIX'S OF THE GIRLS RIDING THEIR BIKES & SOFIA JUST WHISTELING AWAY AS SHE WAS RIDING. THEY WERE EVEN HAVE RACES!!!! CRAZY GIRLS!!!! 
GOT SOME NEW PICTURES OF EVA (THERESA'S DAUGHTER) PRE-SCHOOL GRADUATION & THERESA'S FINISHED TATTOO. NOW SHE SAYS SHE HAS TO HAVE THE STARS TOUCHED UP, (SHE HAD THE STARS BEFORE SHE KNEW YOU WERE GONE), I WILL ALSO BE PUTTING IN PICTURES OF BOBBY GRAVES & HIS FAMILY, HIS LITTLE BROTHER WHO JUST GRADUATED H.S., BOY DO THEY LOOK ALIKE!!!! SOME WITH THEIR MOM DEBBIE, & ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS (DEBBIE'S SISTER DEE DEE) WITH THE BOYS & HER 2 KIDS/GRANDBABIES ON BOTH SIDES!!!!! I HAVE NO NEW PICTURES OF JASON, SORRY, JUST FROM THAT T-DAY HE WAS HERE THAT ONE YEAR.
ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE LEAVING BOB'S COMPANY TO GO TO ANOTHER SOLAR CO. BUT BOB HAS NO PLANS OF LEAVING. NOW NOT JUST MAINTAINCE LIKE HIM, BUT NOW BOTH HIS BOSSES ARE LEAVING. JOBS ARE TO ROUGH TO FIND SO HE'S PERFECTLY HAPPY STAYING AT THE COMPANY HE'S AT.
SIG/RICK BOUGHT ME THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CERAMIC FROG FOR MY B-DAY, COMES IN A SATIN BOX, AND TELLS ABOUT THE 300 YR. OLD PROCESS THAT IT TAKES TO MAKE THESE FROGS. IT IS JUST AMAZING, CAN'T WAIT TO PUT IT IN MY CURIO CABINET. BUT IT HAS TO HAVE IT'S OWN SPACE, IT'S NOT A TINY LITTLE ONE, IT'S PRETTY GOOD SIZED. BUT THE BEST PRESENT I GOT WAS RICK CAME HOME THAT DAY OF MY B-DAY!!!!!
WELL "MY BABY BOY" I'D BETTER START CLOSING FOR NOW. I'LL DOWNLOAD SOME PICTURES TONIGHT BUT MOSTLY TOMORROW.
FOREVER IN MY HEART, THOUGHTS, EVERYTHING I DO & THING, YOUR ALWAYS THERE.I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH, IT STILL & WILL ALWAYS HURT. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A PERMINATE HOLE IN MY HEART, BUT YOUR STILL ALIVE TO ME, BECAUSE LATELY I CAN FEEL YOU AROUND ME.
FOREVER I'LL LOVE & MISS YOU "MY BABY BOY" FRANKIE. KEEP SNOWBOARDING ACROSS THOSE CLOUDS AND SKATEBOARDING ON THE DAYS WITHOUT CLOUDS.
FOREVER AND ALWAYS MY LOVE, SLEEP WITH THE ANGELS FRANKIE. AND R.I.P. XOXOX
LOVE YOU ALWAYS, MOM XOXOXOXOXOX
