Dear Quintero/Celentano Family
We pray for God’s comfort and strength in this time of grief and sadness. May you all be strengthened by the love of our Heavenly Father.
Frank was the grandfather and hero I never knew I had. Being part of the Greatest Generation, he fought for all of our freedom so his passing on Veterans Day was only fitting. He along with his wife Maria opened their home to my children and would watch them all day long while my wife and I worked. He never expected anything in return and always greeted them with a smile. I would find that same smile on his face when I would return hours later. I’d like to think he’s smiling down at all of us now. Thank you, Frank. We love and miss you.
I love you Babe and I miss you so much! My heart is full of sadness but I will see you one day in heaven. I feel empty without you but there is no more pain and suffering.
Rest in Peace my love!
My heart breaks to see you leave earth but now you are in paradise! I can’t stop thinking of you and how wonderful, kind and loving you were. I had a dream the night before you left earth, how you expressed your love to me. This memory will be forever in my heart! I Love you so much Daddy. 🙁
You were such a good man. I’m so thankful that you came into our lives and we became family. From neighbor to grandfather, you have always been so kind. I will miss you so much. I love you. “Okay” you can now rest in peace.
