Cuzn Ann, Charles, Emma and Stephanie, we shared with you in the loss of your husband and father,our dear Cuzn Frank. Truly when I heard of his passing, a feeling of sadness and tears filled my eyes and I felt the chain being broken one more time, yet it was his time to join all the Berry Clan in heaven. Cuzn Frank was a joy to be around and always made me and my sisters the prettiest women in any place he saw us. He often would say, "We the Pretty Berries". He will be missed and I will continue to reflect on every occasion that we had to celebrate knowing that this handsome Berry man loved his family. Rest in Peace Cuzn Frank, Forever praying for my family, your Pretty cuzns, Una Berry Murphy, Laura Berry Whitaker, Janie Berry Cobb, Patricia Berry Mumphord and my brothers Lendward and Tanura Berry, the children of your first cuzn, the late Earl Berry

Knowing that my dear friend (dad) is gone really hurt, but l know God is a healer, Frank was a great man of wisdom and humor, he gave me and our grandchildren nicknames the first time he me all of us we loved him dearly. I often visited their home and he'd tell Ann his wife don't cook until l left, then he'd offer me a soda and a honeybun. We sincerely loved Franklin Berry and will miss him. My loving sincere condolences to Ann, and the family to include his church family let's pray for each other in Jesus Name.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
