Frankie and I met in grammar school in Jacksonville Beach and went through Fletcher High School where we were cheerleaders. She was a lovely girl and woman. We spoke by phone shortly after her husband´s death and shortly before my husband, Norman Thompson, died. He was also a Jacksonville Beach kid! My condolences to her daughter and all the family.
