To the Paige and Bracey Family, I am so saddened by our loss of my dear Aunt Frankie. I cannot remember a time when she was not a part of my life. I was the ring bearer in her wedding in 1960; she never let me forget it. She was always so kind to me and was always smiling. I loved the soothing tone of her voice and the twinkle in her eye. She was a truly special lady. And now she is an angel in heaven. With love, Darryl Christmon, Silver Spring, Maryland

Aunt Frankie was a very kind person. I met her long before I married her nephew. When I completed beauty school she hired me to work in her shop with her and Georgia Jimmerson in the early 70's. These were two beautiful ladies who always tried to help somebody. Aunt Frankie had a very unique smile. Yes I'm sure she will be missed. Family just remember she's a part of God's bouquet. He only want the best. With sincere prayers Helen Norman-Christmon

Remembering the warm, gracious and sweet spirit of Aunt Frankie. She welcomed me to the family with open arms when I married her nephew Darryl.

Sending Prayers of Love and Comfort, Arnita
