It is with deep despair and heartbreak that we tell the GEM community that our sweet Frankie went to the Bridge last night. He was the best little boy that we ever could have hoped to have in our family. Our beautiful boy rejoiced in every new day and was just happy to be Frankie. Playbowing and bouncing every morning, tossing stuffies and wagging that helicopter tail incessantly; he was a true life force with an unstoppable joyous spirit and a huge, loving heart. We think we became better humans through his life with us and he taught us to look forward to something good every single day.

There was a private cremation yesterday evening and our boy came home this morning. Sweet Frankie is back home where he should be, and forever will be, in our hearts. We learned so much from him over the years – he gave us more than we could ever give him back, no matter how hard we tried. Memories of him will make us smile again, it just won’t be today.

In sadness,
Gary, Fran & Ruby
