FRANK         31 October 2010: This evening I lost my best friend of 15 1/2 years. Frank passed away suddenly after experiencing several siezures and probably a stroke from a brain tumor. He did not suffer and was well and happy until the end. I will miss him tremendously. He was a daily companion of mine at home and at work. And for those of you, my patients and their friends and families, who were fortunate enough to meet him and enjoy his presence, I know you will miss him also. Other than his final illness I have nothing but joyous memories of my dog companion. I also know I gave him a good life and much love, things he returned to me many times over. I will definitely miss my buddy riding "shotgun" with me every morning and evening to and from work. He was, truly, my best friend ever. God bless him! 31 October 2011 This is the one year anniversary of Frank's death. He is fondly remembered with both sadness in his passing and joy for the time I shared with him. He remains in my heart and on my mind.
