Hello Everyone,
We don't have a happy ending to report but at least we have an ending.
Frankie's body was spotted by a very nice couple coming north on the New
York Thruway on Saturday, March 29th, basically in the general area where he
had been seen last just over 5 weeks ago. They were on their way home and
stuck in traffic when they looked over to the side and noticed Frankie's
body. They pulled off the thruway and went over and got our information off
his collar & tag and called us. They respectfully laid his collar beside
his body.
Steve and I went out right away after receiving their compassionate
telephone call. Steve found Frankie right where the couple told us he was.
He spent last night at home, and today we were able to bring him to Snow
Mountain where they will treat him with dignity and respect and return his
cremated remains to us.
Steve and I just want you all to know, that your help, concern, prayers,
e-mailing efforts, search time over these past few months - just everything
has meant so much to us and we thank you all so very much. Knowing that he
is now resting in peace brings our anguish to a bittersweet end and now we
are just going to deal with mourning our loss. Time will eventually heal
all wounds, it always does.
It is so unfortunate that this is how this 8 week ordeal has ended.
Our sincerest thanks to all,
Peggy & Steve
