I just learned about Frankie Jose's passing and am still processing this. I feel really really sad. Instead of trying to put words into my sorrow now, I'm posting some joyful pictures with him. Rest in peace, Frankie! My sincerest condolences to his wife Tessie, their children, Cesar, and the other Solidaridad staff, and all those whom he mentored and supported who are now feeling deep grief. ~ Cecilia Brainard
