Antoinette Franklin

I only have a memory of Antoinette when I found a memorial near the Polecat creek bridge while on a motorcycle ride. I didn't know Antoinette but after finding this memorial and getting to say a little prayer for the family and friends there I find my self thinking of her often. Wishing I could have known a woman so loved that a memorial was made like this one. The Lord works all things for the good of those who choose him. In that promise I hope to meet Antoinette on the other side of glory and see her as she truly is not in whatever circumstance took her life from this earth.

When someone passes they say you´re supposed to celebrate the life they lived. I want to do that so bad but all I feel is pain. I feel like you were cheated, we were cheated... out of the life you were supposed to live, the kids you were supposed to have, the goals you were supposed to accomplish, the memories we never got to make. I was blessed to say you were my family. You knew how proud I was of you and I know how proud you were of me but the love and memories we had with each other doesn´t seem to be enough. I feel so selfish for these feelings but you were an amazing person, cousin and friend. Ups and downs we always knew we´d have each other. I keep watching this video of one of our visits and all I can think of is how special you were. I´ve known that since you were a little girl. I hope you are at peace. I love you so much

My lovely beautiful friend. No words can explain how I feel. I miss you. May you rest in heaven

Sweet Antoinette, I will miss your beautiful smile. I am grateful for the time I spent this beautiful child. Full of life and love. You will be missed by those who truly loved you.
