Dear Uncle Frank,
I miss you so much, it has been 7 years since you went to be with God. You would have been 80 years old this year. I miss you so much, and remember fondly childhood memories of you and Dad singing, playing your guitars around the campfires or living room. Daddy misses you so much. I Love you forever and will see you and Grandma in heaven one day.
Love your niece, Loretta
