Cheryl, Fran, Beth and Jason, I was shocked and saddened to hear about Frankie. Seems I just found him...only to lose him again. There were so many things and people I wanted to talk with him about. So many songs I wanted to hear him play and sing. Seems we just never had the time or the chance. But I guess that's life. I wil miss him greatly as I know you all will. I wish we had found each other sooner so I could have spent more time with you all. We lived in Charleston for 5 years. Just think of the talks we could have had, the dinners, cookouts, and just casual visits. I pray that GOD will bring you strength and comfort in this your time of need. If you can think of anything I can do to help in any way please let me know. I love you all, you're family.
My love and prayers

Franklin was always kind and friendly even though I was an in-law. We did not see each other a lot, but when we did it was always a joyful occasion. Always fixed my favorite chicken gizzards and noodles!
