To know Frank was to love Frank. And to know Frank was to be loved by Frank. He was made up of the world's biggest heart, a complex & insanely brilliant mind, and a contagious smile that truly lit up every room. His laugh and his voice are echoing in my brain and I wish I could hear them one more time. I wish I could hug him one more time. And I know I'm not alone in that feeling.
To all of our family and our friends, we are in this together and I want to thank you all for the support. So much love has been radiating through the communities that Frank was the anchor of. He brought countless people together and showed us all what it means to be the best friend someone could possibly be.
Thank you again to everyone for the love and support through this time. I love you. Frank loves you.
Many of you didn't experience the unique bond that Frank and I had, but luckily a lot of you did.
We were a package deal. Two peas in a pod. Partners in crime. Best friends.
When either of us showed up to the function that the other was at, we immediately started rambling to one another. Talking over each other because we had too many things to talk about. And these conversations could go on for hours. If you were there in the room with us, it didn't matter. We were always so excited to see each other that we couldn't stop talking. New stories and old, we went on and on as if nothing else and no one else existed.
And our friend groups were fully intertwined. Like I said, we were a package deal. Want to be friends with Frank? Want to date Frank? Well too bad because I'm a part of this too.
And he made me feel like a celebrity. Talked me up everywhere he went. He was my biggest fan as I was his. You know how people tell you to be around people who bring out the best in you? Well, that was him for me. I've never felt so special and so loved. I can't tell you how many times he introduced me, saying something along the lines of "this is my sister Kacee and she's the best."
He knew how to highlight the best sides of me, and how talk me through the worst. Anytime I felt incapable, doubtful, afraid, or lost, he knew how to remind me of how strong I was. And what I needed to change.
Despite not seeing each other or talking all the time, we were so attached to each other on a soul level. We understood each other like no one else.
My heart is aching and I just want my best friend to know how much I love him. More than anything on the planet.
