Frank Ceresi

[ElCabron]

Quick update:

Today Frank has been in and out of consciousness and even saying a word or two every now and then. This might sound like an improvement, but in my opinion it is a step in the wrong direction. He is hurting so much. I want his suffering to end. If there is any silver lining, his being awake allowed me to share all of your kind words with him, naming everyone individually. Whether you posted here or sent me an email or private message, Frank has heard your words. Thank you for that.

Ryan,

When you have time I would be interested to know how you developed a friendship with Frank? This is powerful.

Thank you so much Ryan for passing my message along to Frank. I am so sorry he is in pain, and wish that the hospice would do more to relieve his suffering.

I grew up south of Alexandria, Virginia, and my beloved sixth grade teacher (and neighbor just a block away) was Katherine Ceresi. When I saw this thread, I assumed there was no connection, but given that the name is somewhat uncommon I did a Google search anyhow. You guessed it: Mrs. Ceresi was Frank's mother. It turns out she passed away in 1995, although his father -- Col. Anthony Ceresi -- lived until 2004.

We should all have -- or better yet, be -- friends like Ryan.
