Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
My favorite saying of hers was Come What May. I loved to hear her laugh. It was a blessing to have known her.
Lynne, We all know these heartbreaking days will come. We prepare as best as we can. But reality is sometimes difficult. Loosing your mother must be hard; but loosing your best friend leaves a void that is hard to fill. Being from the older, wiser generation, I was able to share a lot of good laughs with Francis and Bill! When these two gathered with the Bandy’s and the Pages the party began!! Celebrations of Christmas with mom and dads Pine Bark Stew always brought great people together. These were truly of Days gone by. Carry your moms smile, and continue her legacy. Hold the dreams of her and cherish your memories that you both created together. In the coming days you will be lifted in prayer, as Celine and I will do just that. With love Freddy
Mo, I am so sorry for the loss of you Mom. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Francis had a wonderful zest for life. She would light up a room with her contagious smile and laughter. She will be greatly missed. I will cherish my chidhood, and adult, memories of Pampy. She greatly adored her family. May God’s peace, strength, and comfort be with her loving family.
My condolences to the family and my prayers for healing of your sorrows.
To this day, I regret knocking Pampy into the ditch during a McGlone family Easter Egg Hunt. We were reaching for the same egg, and I got there first, not fully realizing the high-level enthusiasm we shared for the hunt. She never took it personally, and for that, I am grateful. I also always appreciated her Eastern NC accent; it made me feel right at home. She was a very special lady.
I will miss you so much Mama.! You left me with so many wonderful and happy memories that I will cherish the rest of my life. You are now with your Savior and daddy. I love you!❤️
Mo, So sorry to hear about your mom. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family during this time.

Lynne, Mo, and Family, I just learned about your mother’s passing yesterday from Joe Langston. I wish I could attend her service today but already have a prior commitment. It has been so long since I have seen you. I have lots of fond memories visiting with your mother when I would come over during the high school and college days.
