Condolences to the Family

Frankie,
Where can I begin? I only knew you a short time, but you left a lasting impact on me. I won’t forget the times you’ve made me laugh and the kind words you’ve given me over last year. I remember at work when you came up to me on a particularly rough day and said, “Eve you’re doing great!” with a warm smile. You were too good for this world, and I hope you are resting happily now in paradise. My deepest condolences to Francisco’s family and friends.
I will not forget you Frankie, your memory will live on with me.
Until we meet again,
your friend Eve

Franky was the man since high school, we use to go to his house and play WWE after class, he was such a good dude, his sense of humor, his kindness, his intelligence, he was a true friend, one of a kind. He would not pay attention during Biology but would ace the tests, it was crazy. He is a rare soul.
