Pam and family, I can't imagine the devastation you're experiencing with the loss of Frank. He truly was one of the "good guys" in life who displayed an upbeat and optimistic attitude and was always flashing that million dollar smile! I feel truly blessed to have known him and my heart aches to know I won't have the pleasure anymore of seeing him. He had a positive influence on all who knew him and I am thankful I was fortunate to be one of those people. Our prayers will be for peace and understanding for you and your entire family.
