"The First Time" I met Frank Michael Alongi Junior,nearly three years ago was in a "Friends Of Cher" Facebook group. His passionate,enthusiastic,insightful comments drew me into his sphere. Intially we began to IM with our shared passion. Within a week Frank would charm me into face time with him. So began the most powerful significant loving "emotional relationship" of my 57 years of life!  

Frank and I shared everything.  Our hopes,dreams,life passions,past present and future. We often would simply listen to music and enjoy the company and positive energy shared.

Frank was the kindest,most thoughtful,selfless being I have ever been so blessed to love and be loved by. Frank eventually knew me more than I knew myself. He made me feel at peace. He brought out sides of myself I thought had been lost. He taught me the importance of self love and care. Through his actions I learned what authentic friendship and true loyalty is.  Frank did this effortlessly,as he was a radiant beacon of light,love and greatness! Sharing his company at last I felt I was home!

The final email Frank graced me with,written hours before his tragic passing,illustrated the enlightened soul he was. Through finding love,peace and hope in life. While he was experiencing great physical and emotional pain,he now only wanted to express love. The loving child of God Frank Was and shall always remain!

I will miss you very much Frank..  my long Distance Friend.  Take these pictures of Cher with you to heaven... I know they were your favorites... Chris 🌹💖

"I believe in you Mark Pollock" My sweetness I am living to see you tonight. I hope your day is great! All my love Forever and Always,your Soulmate!"
I shall always cherish this final memorial Frank left for me of this most loving enlightened child of God that was Frank!

"Do You Believe In Life After Love"? 
During a very painful period,of dental surgery I could not speak. Frank said "please don't even try..I will sing to you." As he began to sing a Karen Carpenter song.."Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear Evereytime You Are Near"?..We broke into laughter and giggled like schoolboys for the rest of the night!

Mysteriously the first three nights after Franks passing a tremendous flock of birds appeared outside my window,*(during the time we would be speaking) and chirped so very loud for over three hours! I would like to believe there was a not so secretive meaning by this visitation?

Frank was and IS the golden thread that has been woven through the tapestry of my life forever.

"When I was young there was this section in the "Readers Digest" "The Most Unforgettable Charrector I Ever Met". And for me until the day I die that person will be Frank Michael Alongi Junior! 

I love you forever Frank!

I met Frank through our friend Deborah in the mid 90's. She worked for him at Sam Goody. He loved music. The 3 of us would go to clubs, dinner, shows or just hang out.  He loved telling shocking stories to people who might be a bit uptight, just for fun.  We went to pride with him - had a great time.  The best was going to see "Rent" at the Dorothy Chandler.  It was wonderful and the 3 of us couldn't stop sobbing at the end, and then laughed at ourselves all the way home.  He was a truly loving, deeply caring soul that I feel privileged to have known.  I will miss him.  He will always make me smile.

I met Frank with Jomo & Gee in Santa Monica at Borders book store.. The Goddess of everything  (as frank always called her) Cher was signing her believe cd. & her book The First Time. We spent the whole day in line waiting. We were the first ones of course! What a wonderful day & night it was. From then on we would meet up at Cher concerts & events. Frank was a beautiful soul & i was lucky to have known him. 


I've known Frank for 20 yrs. I met him in LA outside of a record release party for Cher's Believe in W. Hollywood. He grilled me on Cher facts to see if I was a true fan. I passed and we became Cher Friends. I remember after celebrating my 40th birthday (I share it with Sonny Bono 2/16)-we went to Palm Springs to pay respects to Sonny-I casually mentioned...You know Frank..we only have 20 good years left. He did NOT like that! LOL Sadly, I wish I never said that because fast forward 20 years....and...he's gone....and on Cher's birthday too. This pic w/Cher is how he would want to be remembered...w/his goddess! I will miss him.

My dear friend Frank, you were a kind and caring man. I will miss you very much... Your Australian friend.. Chris 🌹💖
