We are so very saddened to read if the death of your dear loved one. Please accept my family's heartfelt condolences. Out of all the things that afflict humans, the pain of death is truly indescribable. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that Almighty God promises in his word The Bible, that shortly He will "wipe every tear from our eyes, and death...will be no more."
Omar and Alvin, I am so sorry to hear of Frankie passing. She was always a pleasure to talk to and be around. She will be missed.

Oh . . . I have so many memories of this dear lady. I had carefully packed these memories away years ago, and thought I had gotten away with it until I saw her name in the paper, and they all came flooding back. Memories of long car rides over the countryside with her and Mr. Howard; trips to Fort Campbell and Fort Knox; long conversations about anything and everything; spending the night; and laughter and sometimes tears. The summer afternoons after church, and taking naps under the shade trees in the front yard – laying on one of her handmade quilts – or riding horses (Dolly and Joe, I believe were their names). One of my most prized possessions is the quilt she made for me. It’s a Dutch Doll quilt. She used shirts from Mr. Howard and their sons for the material, and each of us sewed a few stitches. Yes, I have quite a few memories. She was like a second mother to me those many years ago.
I know Mr. and Mrs. Howard will be among my friends and loved ones who are waiting at heaven’s gate when my time comes – just as I know my parents were among those who were waiting for her. And, oh, what a wonderful time they’re having now! The family, especially Leon, Alvin and Omar, are in my thoughts and my prayers during this time.
Sincerely,
Janet

Frankie was a sweet and loving person. After it had been years since I had seen her, she still remembered who I was and that meant a world to me. She reminded me a lot of my Mamaw. I know she will be truly missed by her family and friends. My thoughts, love and prayers go out to you all. God be with you!
