Frankie Julio Curra
What Frankie was like
My son & only child was a gentle, kind person until The Monster got him.He was so smart and knew better, but The Monster got hold & would not let him go.
For the last 7 months of his life he was clean & I had my son back.I miss him so & am crushed.
Fondest memories of Frankie
Being at the beach together brings such warm memories of Frankie. Hed hold onto me so tight when the waves crashed on us. I can also picture him in the kitchen cooking for everyone. It was his way of expressing his love for us. He was great at art, too, and I treasure some pieces he drew when he was a kid. And his deep, resonant voice was so distinctive.
How Frankie will be missed
I miss him hugging me when he'd visit and hearing his voice say, "Hey Mom. How are you?"
Most of all, I miss hearing him say, "I love you, Mommy."
How Frankie will be remembered
He loved his family and friends and that he would protect us with his own life if he had to.
