Dear Family:
My most heartfelt prayers and condolences go out to you all. Your family has always been my family since I can remember. I will miss you Frankie. You will always be loved. You always told everyone I was your little sister and you looked after me. I will always be grateful for that. What you did to prepare for death was most important. You knew how to get it right with GOD and knowing this helps me to cope with this great loss. I will keep in mind what you always told me to just "BE STILL". Family, continue to seek GOD and rest in his bosom of assurance that he will never leave you, nor forsake you. Asst. Pastor Tucker loves you too!
