I personally and publicly,Thank whoever the person was that put together this video.This is a difficult time for my family and watching this,will give great comfort to us for years to come!!
Sending love and prayers to all. Losing your mother is very hard. It’s a hurt that cannot be healed. I have many happy memories of aunt Frances. We worked together at social services. My fondest memory is a reunion held at her house. This was before Mike and I were married. She always made me feel at home when I was there. I remember thinking that all of nash county was present at the reunion. I don’t know that they were all blood related. Frances just made everyone feel a bit warmer inside. She reminded me of my grandmother, she had a child in her lap every time I visited her home. Lots of memories to cherish. Rely heavily upon God! My heart goes out to all of you. Teresa Baines Radford

Heartfelt condolences to the Radford and Hendricks Family. I will always be amazed at the love and care that Kay provided for her mama. I know this is so hard for you and Rita. Now, Frances you and Ann stay in your room. NYC is dangerous, you can’t go on the street by yourselves. OK, Russell. Off we go to Broadway…middle of the night…having a blast. Aunt Frances was more fun than just about anyone I ever knew. Uncle Bob, Aunt Frances, Mama and Papa were my caregivers in a turbulent child’s life. They were my refuge and my security. My childhood was so rich because of them. I hope St. Peter loves fried chicken and banana pudding because the best cook I have ever known is with him now. I love you, Shug were the last words I heard and I just want to say I love you, Aunt Frances. You made my life better.
