To The Koral/Visone Families:
Jim and I are so very sorry for your loss. It was very obvious how much your Dad was loved. There was always a family member, especially Jeannie, Paul, Danny or Johnny to take care of him. He was always fun to visit. I always got a kiss out of him and he was always happy to see me. When I learned about Frank's death I thought of Danny's wedding and dancing with him. He sure loved to have fun. What a lover! It's unsettling to think about visiting Jeannie and not going to see her Dad. We all have to remember in our pain that he is with God. There isn't a better place. He's with Cecilia and all the rest of the family that left before him. And, that has to be a lot considering how old he was. Praise God that Frank was here and spread his love and joy on this earth. All my love to my dearest and sweetest friend, Jeannie and thank you to my other dearest friend Paul for all his help to Jeannie. My love to the whole family and again, Jim and I are sorry for your loss.

Dear Jeannie (and family) - My mom and I were very saddened to hear of your dear dad's sudden passing. I know how much he was loved and cherished by all of you. He certainly lived a long and happy life, however, and was truly blessed to have a loving family such as yours to be around and support him. What moves through you all now is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. You may not understand why he left this earth so soon, or why he left before you were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, you will begin to remember not just that he died, but that he LIVED and that his life gave you memories to cherish that are too beautiful to forget. May the love of those around you all help you through the days ahead.

Love, Eddy Lindt (and of course "Mama Velta") ;>)

Jeannie and Paul, you were the best daughter and son-in-law a father could ever hope to have. Your care of him and devotion to him in the last years enabled him to live a full, rich, and independent life right up until the end. You honored him every day of his life, as the Bible commands. How lucky you all were, to have such a great family love which will carry you now through the dark times until that joyous day when all will be united again. I pray that your memories will comfort you, and that the love of your family and friends will uplift you as you navigate your way through the difficult days and weeks ahead. It breaks my heart that circumstances are such that I cannot be there in person, but in my heart I have never left you. Loving you always....Patti
