Who passed away a year ago, May 5, 2011, but is still fondly remembered by JOHN and R I TA Q u e s n e l l e & F a m i l y a s t h e i r friend and mentor and is missed everyday. To whom we dedicate this: Yo u w e r e s i c k a n d t i r e d a n d w e a l l knew, that God would soon come to take you. You fought so hard, so very hard, but through the pain, you stayed strong. We all knew there would come a day, when God would come to carry you away. It doesn't make it easier to say goodbye, and I try so hard not to cry. I can't help but feel defeated, or even maybe a little cheated. But how ver y selfish would I be, to hope and pray you could stay with me. So as you laid there tubes running to and fro, I had to tell you "It's ok to go". Say "Hi" to loved ones waiting on the other side. I know some day; you'll be there when I take that ride. We Miss You Frank.
