"Those you love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed, and very dear."

This is not Nancy's first time using social media to reminisce about her brother's life. Last year on March 16, she posted a picture of Frank Jr. and herself with a very emotional caption. The songstress wrote of how much she missed everything about him, emphasizing that it had been six years since his passing.

Similarly, she shared a tribute to him on his birthday on January 11 this year. In the caption of her birthday post, Nancy wished her brother a happy birthday and hoped that Frank Jr. was celebrating his birthday if they could exist or be celebrated anywhere in the universe.

Before revealing that their family used to call him Uncle Funny, the actress detailed how he grew from a humorous child to a brilliant musician and mentioned that she feels he did not receive all the acknowledgment he deserved.
