To the Monlinaro Family,
It was such a pleasure and joy to have had Frankie in my class at Pleasant View Middle School and with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Frankie will always be one of those \Awesome Individuals\” that comes along just once in a career. Wherever Frankie was there was always more joy
Words are words but feelings can be expressed. So many people expressed their feeling of love for your son and your family. I know that you have to be very proud that so many people loved your son. It was a great honor, although a deep sadness, to be in attendance of such great love for a person. So many people are feeling the sadness and the emptiness of your loss but the hurt is not as great as yours and there are hardly any words that can help that, but remember the love, the great love that people have for you and your son and maybe it will give you some strength at those really hard times. I know members of my family will always have Frankie in their hearts and always on their minds. God be with you.
You are all in our thoughts and heart during this difficult time.
Love,
Branden Sawaya and Shannon Barclay

Love,
Craig, Kylie, and Tiffany (Sawaya) Montoya

Frankie & Janet, family
Words cannot express our sorrow for you at this terrible time. Just know that you’ve been in my thoughts and bless your family. May God wrap his arms around each and every one of you, and Aunt Joanne and Uncle Frank and your sisters. I wish you weren’t going through this. I know that Frankie is with grandma and grandpa and my dad, he’s not alone.
Love you,

Frank, Janet, Tony and Vince, We wish we could comfort you during this time so we send many prayers and thoughts your way, we couldn’t imagine the pain you are feeling. God will help you heal while Frankie will always be with you, protecting you. Frankie left so many people with such funny memories, you should be proud of his mischievous personality and huge heart. He would walk into our home like it was his own and ask “what do you have to eat?” We made the one time mistake of offering him a bologna sandwich instead of a meatball sandwich and we paid for that error for years. Every time you wanted to knock him upside the head, he did something so ornery you would just bust out laughing, he brightened every room he was in. Frankie, We are sorry we made you eat cabbage rolls with goat cheese (but you liked them) and Sue will make you a meatball sandwich as soon as she sees you again. We love you! The Christie Family – Shawn, Sue and the kids.
p.s. yes…the chew spit stain is still on the carpet…we smile every time we walk over it, thanks for the memories!
Frank, Janet and the entire Molinaro Family. Our deepest sympathy and prayers are being sent your way in this time of sorrow. May your family, friends, and faith pull you through this time. Sincerely, Lori Pinz (Book) and family.
Dear Janet, Frank and family:
My thoughts and prayers go out to you. May all of your beautiful memories bring you comfort now and in the difficult days ahead. God bless you and give you strength.
Sincerely,
Scharlee Whitten
