He has done so much for our family when we were little kids. As we grew older we learned so much of his generosity, kindness and compassion. Whenever I think of him, I am always reminded of the beautiful things he had extended to us. My family will be forever grateful to him. Maraming salamat po lolo Frank for letting us feel a bit of heaven on earth, through your kind deeds. God be with you till we meet again. I would like to dedicate this hymn to you, lolo Frank. Each life that touches ours for good Reflects thine own great mercy, Lord; Thou sendest blessings from above Thru words and deeds of those who love. What greater gift dost thou bestow, What greater goodness can we know Than Christlike friends, whose gentle ways Strengthen our faith, enrich our days. When such a friend from us departs, We hold forever in our hearts A sweet and hallowed memory, Bringing us nearer, Lord, to thee. For worthy friends whose lives proclaim Devotion to the Savior's name, Who bless our days with peace and love, We praise thy goodness, Lord, above. - Posted by: Ritchel Torres (Friend) on: Jun 06, 2018

Of all the many blessings, however great or small, to have had you for an uncle was the greatest one of all. The family chain is broken now and nothing seems the same, but as God takes us one by one, the chain will link again. Rest in Peace, Tito Frank (Tio Pacong). - Posted by: Bernie Vasallo (Nephew) on: Jun 05, 2018
