I am so sorry you've had to carry such a weight on your shoulders. I hope you can find peace in knowing that you couldn't have forseen that this would happen. And there is no guarantee the outcome would have been different if you had been there. It is a terrible, terrible tragedy. I'm sure the family will take some small comfort in knowing that Frank--and his brother, Nick--were loved by so many.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452662850165426833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766322694484209381.post-64437433240208252492012-09-20T14:29:05.788-05:002012-09-20T14:29:05.788-05:00I was Frank's Girlfriend on and off for a few ...I was Frank's Girlfriend on and off for a few years and I was supposed to be there with frank the night he passed away although I could not make it, how remorseful I am for that. what a tragedy. I am also so sad for Franks younger brother who was a great friend to me and is also gone now. I feel so strongly for the family and I wish that I could reach out and squeeze their hands sometimes...<br /><br />DanaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036589974405672429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766322694484209381.post-89564217978941518962012-09-13T13:58:13.113-05:002012-09-13T13:58:13.113-05:00@ Alex - I am so very sorry about your brother and...@ Alex - I am so very sorry about your brother and that this happened to you. Frank sounds like he was a great guy--the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back.

Frank was so inspiring. He was always there for me, and he was so kind hearted with everything he did. My mom has been through so much these past years, and i just hate seeing her upset when she is. I hope no one ever has to go through what my family went through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766322694484209381.post-67557771518857934242011-03-07T18:13:20.695-06:002011-03-07T18:13:20.695-06:00@ Death or Glory,
Thank you for leaving your comme...@ Death or Glory,<br />Thank you for leaving your comments. I enjoyed reading about Frank and who he was as a person--these things are often left out of the paper too. If you are interested in posting some additional thoughts about Frank for the upcoming anniversary, I would be happy to post an update. You can e-mail me at footprints.blogmail@yahoo.com. Either way, I thank you for the touching comments and your word of advice to my readers.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452662850165426833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766322694484209381.post-63985918693568577892011-02-05T14:15:10.283-06:002011-02-05T14:15:10.283-06:00Hi.

He was an amazing friend, and I loved him dearly. He lived a great full life of traveling, and adventure. The entire story of that night was made to look a lot less painful than it actually was. Kind of weird, I searched all over the internet for stories about his disappearance, and it's like they all vanished. I realized today that it's been almost 6 years since all of that happened, and I still think about him everyday. All I can say, is if you see your friends, and they are upset, please, don't leave them alone.Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823754900739762694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766322694484209381.post-77728159602900430012009-11-21T15:58:52.270-06:002009-11-21T15:58:52.270-06:00I wonder if anyone confirmed whether Frank was the...I wonder if anyone confirmed whether Frank was the man police were putting in the car that night or who the person actually was they put in their car.<br /><br />This portion of the story jumps out at me. If his friend saw the police putting someone in the back of their car I would think the person must have resembled his friend in some way if he saw the person. If he didn't see the person I wonder why he would assume his friend was being taken away by the police by just seeing police lights.<br /><br />Very sad story.Monique777https://www.blogger.com/profile/16429479918613667149noreply@blogger.com
