Very sorry to learn of Frankie’s passing. She was a lovely woman with a wicked sense of humor, a sharp mind, and a compassionate heart. I’ll miss sneaking pieces into Bobby’s jigsaw puzzle with her. I’ll hoist a glass of white wine in her honor, and eat a cornbread stick in remembrance. I’ll miss you, cousin.
Frankie was a nice lady to be around. I am so sorry for her family loss. I knew Frankie from the Asheville Moose Lodge.
Frankie has been a faithful customer and a good friends for many years. She will certainly be missed
So sorry for your loss, Kim. My condolences to you & your family. I enjoyed meeting your mother years ago, it’s one of the many pleasant memories of my early days in Asheville.
Kim,
I am so sad to hear of Frankie’s passing. She was such a delight! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kim, I am deeply sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you, Bobby, April, and all of your family. I admired the relationship you two had as mother and daughter but also as friends and sisters. I always enjoyed seeing you two interact; you never knew what you were gonna get but it was sure to be entertaining… and there was always love and Frankie smiling. Frankie was an inspiration to us all. She led by example in showing us how to live, let loose, and have fun. She was realistic in that she didn’t dwell on the things she couldn’t change and accepted life as it was given to her. Since I’d known her, Frankie considered her life on this earth as borrowed time and she lived every day that way- as we all should but sometimes forget to do. To me, she was and will continue to be a reminder of how to let worry go and live in the moment (and sneak junk food). Our dear Frankie will be missed more than words can express. Love you Kimmie.
Kim, I’m sadden by the loss of your wonderful Mom. I will carry the memory of her recovering a very treasured ring given to me by my loving wife Sandee before we were married. She did this not once but twice for me. She was a love. Milt
Dear Kim — I have just learned this news and am saddened. While not being very good at keeping in touch with others — and that includes most everyone — in recent years, I have never taken your hospitality or generosity of spirit for granted, and value your friendship and love, not to mention the many thoughtful cards over the years to us both from you and Frankie. Your postcards from Germany made me especially happy for you both, and your kind words, as always, did not go unappreciated. This goes for Darren as well. I am very grateful for having had the chance to see you and Frankie last year, and was both honored and delighted to have been warmly invited to your table spontaneously — now holding dear your mother’s hug that day, which made words unnecessary. In addition to being hospitable neighbors for a while, you were also good friends to us at a time when we needed them most, and I shall remember — more than anything — the laughter we all four shared, often around your kitchen table or on our front porch. (We still enjoy the swing which you gave us.) I wish I had been a better friend to you both, but please know how much I appreciate you and how grateful I am to have known your mother, my fellow Aquarian and typewriter enthusiast. Your devotion to your mother serves as an inspiration to me, as it must to others with aging parents. We extend our sincere sympathy to Bobby and the rest of your family as well. Frankie’s love for you knows no boundaries, as yours for her. God bless you — and may peace be with you.
