I have so many fond memories of Uncle Frank. He loved meeting people everywhere he went. He enjoyed going to Jackson State University football games, which he attended faithfully every year with my brother. Most of all he loved visiting his original home church, Antioch in Columbus, MS. Lastly, he always called me sugar foot .I will miss the great conversations about life in general. He will forever be in my heart. May God continue to bless and comfort the family during this difficult time .
Much love
