Ms. Frankie and family; I am so sorry to hear of your passing, but so excited for your journey into God's arms. You were such a wonderful lady, and made all "us kids in the neighborhood", feel special and appreciated. You and Walter will always be remembered fondly. You always said you were going to live to be 100, just to prove you could do it, and bless your heart, you did!!! You are so loved Ms. Frankie, and will be missed so very much. Prayers to all your family for their tremendous loss, and Heaven's wonderful gain.
