Thank you for the beautiful words. Thankful for having you and Jim as Best Life Long friends! 🧡
Frank,
You could not have asked for a better Dad. You and your brothers and sister were part of a family so tight knit. Your dad’s (and Mom’s) passing will be tough but the Scalise family will always be strong.
So sorry.
Greg and Mike
Thanks Greg and Mike- you are always thoughtful and understanding, appreciate the kind words.
Uncle Frank,
Dan and I send our deepest condolences to you and your family on the passing of your wonderful dad. I was lucky enough to meet both of your parents and they were both so sweet. May you find some peace knowing he is now with your mom. Love you.
To the entire Scalise family, Cousin Christine and Larry:
If you don’t remember me, I am Uncle Frank and Aunt Connie’s daughter, Mary.
My sympathy on the loss of your dad, my cousin, Frank, may he rest in the peace of Christ
to suffer no more. I remember his long career as a manager at Jewel. we would stop at that location to see him.
And your beloved mother, Maryann, who made the best Kolacky. They are now reunited in the hands of our Lord. I always
remember visiting your house on Christmas eve with gifts with our Uncle John.
Your Dad lived a very long prosperous life surrounded by so many loving children and grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc.
My deepest condolences,
Cousin
Mary Fratto
