It's been 3 years since Franklin went to be with the Lord in heaven to receive the rewards he so deserved. He blessed many people thru the years with his singing and his testimony. He was the kind of man that made a big influence on people when they met him or heard him sing. He blessed me for many years by his singing and by the way he lived. I loved Franklin and will always remember the good times I had both being his daughter in law and working with him. He taught me so much at work and he treated me like a daughter. He loved Dot and his children and grandchildren. I hope that one day I will see him again. I pray that God has given his family peace on this anniversary of his death. He will always be missed by many

My thoughts and prayers go out to Dot and all the family. He has been such an influence in my life for many years. He was a great father in law and a man that I enjoyed working for. He loved his grandchildren and the greats. The thing that I will always remember was how I felt when he sang. I had a favorite song for so many years and he would usually try to always do it. He blessed me so many times this way. I wish I could be there but circumstances prevent it so just know he meant so much to me over these years and I will never forget him.

Becky & family,

I am sorry to hear about the passing of Franklin. He was always such a delightful person to be around. I used to always look forward to hearing the Wilson's sing at First Baptist Church in Jackson.

May God bless y'all during this time of your loss.
