Frank Morrone went peacefully into God?s arms on August 13 2005 surrounded by family in the comfort of his own home. His courage and strength defied medical boundaries in his battle with Leukemia. He so loved his family; even in his last hours he put their needs before his. His funeral mass will be 10:00am Thursday August 18th at Church of the Epiphany. His family will receive friends from 6-8pm on Tuesday August 16th and from 2-4pm and 6-8pm on Wednesday August 17th. He was amazingly gracious hospitable and full of goodness to those who were fortunate to have known him. His greatest pleasure in life were his family friends and seeing to their every comfort upon visiting his home. He blessed us all for having known and loved him and his ability to make us all laugh in spite of everything will stay with all who knew him for the rest of our days. He joined the Navy to ?see the sea? and his love for the water and boating followed him from that point forward. He is in heaven most assuredly on a boat and once again enjoying calm waters. Be at peace to my best friend husband and biggest fan until I see you again in heaven.
F For the great love he has for his family.
R For the richness he added to all of our lives.
A For his wife Ann who never dreamed God could give her the blessing of Frank she will forever carry with her
N For NEVER forgetting where he came from with Italian immigrant parents and the love they instilled and he passed on to his children grandchildren and stepson.
K For the knowledge to know that his presence would allow us to unselfishly give him back to the rest of his family awaiting him in heaven.
You have taken a piece of all of our hearts with you and your rare and beautiful soul will remain within us forever.
