Frank, my childhood friend together we sang on the top of our lungs to those wonderful songs we loved and I imagine you doing this in heaven while loving your beautiful wife Mary and your daughters and their mates and your beautiful grandchildren. You were/are the kindest of kind and I’m going to miss your light, your smile. As kids we talked about what happens next afterlife-I imagine you know now…until we meet again my friend. God Bless love Mary
