So sorry to hear about Frankie! I remember her working at my parents beauty shop, she stayed so long she actually became family! She had the most contagious laugh, the funniest, craziest personality... you never knew what she would say or do next. She loved her family and her friends like they were family too. Rest in peace Frankie!
