Dearest All Family of Frankie,
My heart grieves with yours in the loss of your mother. Frankie was a beautiful woman with a beautiful and loving soul. I know it is hard to understand why things like this happen, however God has perfection in everything that happens in our life. I called Frankie Ms Castleberry. remember Flo on Alice, she was so vibrant and wonderfully sassy. She was such a energetic woman who to my knowledge spoke no wrong of anyone. She will be so missed. My prayer to each of you. Heavenly Father I come to You in prayer through Your Son Jesus, Father please embrace each of Frankie's family and friends into your arms and hold each one close. Breathe your love and peace over each. They each need your touch, love and peace. Father, If just one of Frankie's family or friends, find the wonderful and perfect love of you and your saving grace, dedicating their life to following you, to eternal life, Frankie's death will not have been in vain. Father you sacrificed your life to give us life. Your Beautiful Son Jesus came here to earth in man form to teach us to be humble, meek, forgiving, unconditional loving and to love even our very enemies, helping the poor, He taught us to turn our cheek when others wrong us. This is what you want for us Father. To follow and be just like Your Beautiful Son. When you embrace each one of Frankie's family and friends, tell them how much I love them to. Thank you Father for your love and joy. In Your Son Jesus Precious Name I Pray, Amen.
