Taking to Instagram, she reflected on the loss of Frank Sinatra. He passed away from a heart attack on May 14, 1998.
"I don't think I'll ever fully get over the loss of him, or the fact that my siblings and I were disregarded and not given a chance to say goodbye," she said.
Nancy also wrote, "My father was one of the most extraordinary men I ever had the privilege to know. What an incredible life he lived, and what a remarkable legacy he left behind. On 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. The 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."
Frank Sinatra Remembered
However, what she found the most tragic was that Sinatra's great-grandchildren never met him. However, she said that his music lives on and people still love his work.
"Twenty-eight years later, the world still sings along with him. Young people continue discovering him for the first time, while those who loved him from the beginning still treasure the man and his music. His music is special because it came from somewhere real, and because he meant every word he sang. He left behind a body of work that continues to bring people comfort, joy, romance, and strength," she wrote.
It's something that would have amazed Frank Sinatra. Apparently, the crooner thought he would be forgotten.
"Dad 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.
