Uncle Frank, although you are technically not my Uncle, It is what I took on to call you out of respect. I will miss our little conversations and your funny little remarks. I will never listen to a Frank Sinatra song the same again. Now when I hear it, I will think of you and know it is you sending all of us your love. I am still in disbelief that you are gone and keep telling myself, he isn't really gone. I even dreamt you were in witness protection, cause you caught a gangster stealing from Walmart. Even though I know you were greeted at the gates with open arms by all those who went to heaven before you. You will be greatly missed here because you were admired and loved by many. Rest easy, hugs

Unc , Can’t believe you are gone. I am gonna miss you so much, all the little things you did for me , never once did you say no or you can’t. The rides , the dog and most of all my pool. You were the best pool man, “ my Carlos” . I will never forget the Sinatra playing in the yard in the morning while you did the pool. You were so special to me and I hope you knew that. I will hold a place in my heart for you always. Rest in peace Carlos , until I see you again. Love always xoxox Alicia 😘

    Thank you for always treating me like your own great niece, for loving my babies like your own grandkids, for always calling my little family beautiful, all the kind words, encouragement, laughs and memories ! You always made me feel like I was doing a great job at being a mom ❤️ You were especially so special to our Ava. She would be at Moms and you’d be the first person she’d ask about. She’s going to miss running up the steps to see what your up to! Or reminding mom to text you to feed the dog so she could stay out later 😆 you did so much for all of us and we are truly blessed that my babies were able to meet/ make memories with their GReAT- GREAT- Uncle! You were the real CHAMP! I can hear you now “gimmie pound champ!, BAM” 💥Gonna miss those! 💔

    So glad you and my dad made some pretty fun memories too! He loved you and your good company! You will be GrEATLY missed by all of us!

    Give “NaaNee” (Marcia) a kiss for us- I know she was waiting for you at the gates! She will take great care of you until we all meet again! XO
