In her 2000 memoir My Father\u2019s Daughter, the Desert Sun<\/a> reports that Nancy\u2019s sister Tina claimed that their dad\u2019s then-wife, Barbara, did not notify the family that Frank had passed and that they were instead informed by a doctor.<\/p>\nNancy went on to describe her dad as \u201cone of the most extraordinary men I ever had the privilege to know\u201d in her life.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn this sad anniversary, I find myself thinking about all he accomplished, the joy he brought to so many people, and the love he gave to those closest to him,\u201d she continued. \u201cThe world could certainly use his warmth, kindness, grace, and wonderful sense of humor today. He had a way of making people feel special, whether it was one person sitting beside him or on stage in front of thousands.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nancy explained that her biggest regret is that Frank\u2019s great-grandchildren never got the chance to know him, writing, \u201cOh! How they would have loved each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nancy continued, \u201cDad was always concerned that his work would be forgotten, so he would be absolutely thrilled to know that his legacy lives on across generations, not only through his music, but in the hearts and on the playlists of millions of people around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
She concluded, \u201cFrank Sinatra is eternal. And I still miss my Daddy. I love you, Poppa.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of the most recognizable entertainers in music history, Frank is known for classics like \u201cTheme From New York, New York,\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s Life,\u201d \u201cStrangers in the Night,\u201d \u201cMy Way,\u201d and \u201cFly Me to the Moon.\u201d He is survived by his three children \u2014\u00a0Nancy, Frank Jr., and Tina \u2014 as well as several grand and great-grandchildren.<\/p>\n
