What are the key messages you would like to send: How much I and our children (Brittany, Ashley, Emily & Isabella) appreciate him. He doesn't think we appreciate him. What a wonderful husband and father he is. He never ever misses a school conference or school function for any of the 4 girls .He works very hard running and owning his own Computer Company to provide for his family. How proud I am that he's been a great step dad to my 2 older children (Brittany & Ashley )and the man he has become at 40. He's my best friend. Frank loves working on his cars and boat, but ALWAYS finds time for his family! I love that Frank is such a family man. If we were stranded on a deserted island, all he would need is his family (his wife, Kerry, 4 daughters and the family dog Max)to survive because our love is strong enough to endure any storm that comes our way! Our 2 children together, Emily and Isabella, changed Frank in such a special way. Frank and I fall apart without each other, even though he doesn't like to admit it.

Do you have any funny, sad, happy, embarrassing or otherwise memorable moments that you would like to share: Many happy times on our vacations with our 4 daughters we frequently vacation in our RV in Key West, Cedar Point and many other campgrounds, Also we've taken a family cruise which we will all remember always. The births of our 2 daughers Emily and Isabella. Holidays at our home are always hectic and crazy, Like everyday in our home, but what we love the most, is the 6 of us all together. We've had happy, funny, sad and embarrassing times, but that's what a family is and we're living it together!

Do you have any other comments or thoughts : We have a lot of passion in our marriage which at times can be GREAT or it can be fatal. It hasn't been an easy road (our marriage/relationship) for Frank and I, but we always get through whatever comes our way. Marriage alone is a challenging but adding 4 children (all GIRLS!!) is even more of a challenge, but there's never a dull minute in our home and the best of all is Frank and I are doing this together. I don't know what the future will hold, but as long as we're on the road together life will be wonderful!

A Family Man

Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention please? Because every now and then in life, there's opportunity you should seize. And that moment is upon us, after all, 40 years ago, Frank had his birth day, and I've got a few thoughts on my mind, yes, I do have some heartfelt words to say: Firstly, I'd like to begin by looking skywards, and thanking those in the heavens above, because I know I've been blessed to have shared him, I know that I've been blessed with Frank's love. And to describe that love is actually quite difficult, because I know, I love him with all my heart and soul, for with Frank in my life, I do feel complete, yes, he is the one that makes me completely whole. Now, Frank was born on October 18, 1965, in a great little place, Ischia, a small island off Italy, and they came to the States when Frank was just a boy, his Mom and Dad wanted a better place to be. Actually, his mother and father really love their number one son, and I had trouble understanding why they held onto him so, but over time, I too have realized just how special Frank is, and while I'm here, there are a few other things you should know: Because, we've now been together for a little over ten years, and it hasn't always been easy (but life is never a rose filled dream), but through it all, we've stuck together, and it's been worth it, we've certainly proved to the world we truly are a team. I know that Frank sometimes thinks we all take him for granted, and to be honest, I've never said just how wonderful you are, just know that if my love for you were a distance, well, it would reach beyond the furthest star. He won't admit this, but I know that we'd fall apart without each other, and with our children, we've created this undeniably strong, magical tie, but we also have a lot of passion in our marriage, which can be great, but if I said it's been great all of the time, that would be a lie. Because it hasn't been an easy road, but we always get through, marriage alone isn't easy but you should try adding 4 girls to the mix, there's never a dull moment in our house, at times it's madness, but as long as we're all together, we have the answer to life's many tricks. In fact, I know that the future will be simply wonderful, just like our camping trips and our unforgettable family cruise, holidays are always hectic and crazy, like every day in our home, but I think we've discovered life is short, we've nothing to lose! But what we love the most, is the 6 of us being together, and I'm sorry, for one moment, I'm forgetting poor old Max, because we've had our share of funny, sad and embarrassing times, but that's what family is, we're living it together, down life's bumpy tracks. So, on behalf of Brittany, Ashley, Emily, Isabella and Max, we all wanted to say thank you, from the bottom of our heart, because you're a wonderful father, a wonderful husband, and to tell you that, I just didn't know where to start. Because you never miss a school conference or function, and that's despite working and computing so hard all of the time, you're a great Dad, I love the man you've become at 40, you're the one who's put the reason in this family's rhyme. Look, I know you love working on your cars and boats, but you ALWAYS find time for us, you're such a family man, and if we were all stranded on a desert island, we'd manage, to survive any storm, this family's love would be our only plan. he's my lifetime lover, my soul-mate, my very best friend. And I did just want to say Frank, Happy 40th Birthday, I'm so looking forward to the future and our time together, but in the meantime, just know that you have our love, and I know that love will last eternally, forever and ever. Because that's all we'll ever need for anything that comes our way, and I know, personally, Frank's love will suffice until my journey's end, because Frank is so much more than just a husband,
