So sorry to hear of Frank’s passing. He was always kind and friendly to me–ever since I met him in the 80s. My sympathy goes out to you three kids (you will always be kids to me) and your families. God Bless and take care. Mrs. Nash
April, Brock Shane and family sorry for your loss. God Bless love and prayers Samantha
April, Brock, Shane and family, so very sorry for your loss. The loss of a parent is very hard. Semper Fi Frank have really missed our conversations.
We were fortunate to spend so much time with Uncle Frank during the last few years that he spent at the care center, along with Dad. You would rarely walk in that he wasn’t sitting out in the living room with a big smile and his cronies surrounding him. We always joked that he was the mayor of the care center. Mom always had a few bottles of root beer in her car for him that he appreciated so much. I am sorry that I won’t be in Ohio with all of you to celebrate his life but will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. He was definitely one of a kind and will be sorely missed.
May the love of God surround you and your family during this difficult time,
May you come to know that the love of God is with you always,
May your memories of Frank A. Cieszeski, give you peace, comfort and strength…
Rest now in the arms of our Lord your mission on earth is complete.
I thank you for your service to our Country and my Freedom. You will not be forgotten..
My thoughts
and prayers to the family of ….
US Marine WW II Veteran, Frank A. Cieszeski, is “A True American Hero” God Bless†
