To the Gallardo Family,
We were so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. As a second cousin to Frank and his wonderful sisters, I can always remember him as so loving, caring, kind, and generous to all who were around him. I vividly remember him with a smiling face all the time. He would always try to make sure that he served all who were around him. He was a true gentleman all the time. I am so blessed to have known this wonderful person in my lifetime. We're so happy that you are now with The Lord dear Frankie.
