Frankie was the purest joy in my life. Independent though she was, her love for her family was never in doubt, and we loved her just as much for it if not more. She was beautiful, clever, sweet, and loyal. With me through some of my greatest life challenges and triumphs, she was best companion I could’ve ever hoped to find. To know her was to be taken by her. Though taken from us way too soon, I hope honoring her in this way means the world at large is left better from her having been in it. I know mine has and I’m forever grateful. I love you forever, my sweet baby, Frankie.
