Remembrances
 
“Frances died on her 14th birthday. She was so bright and quick, so full of creative energy. She and her brother and sisters were close, and I never saw them squabble among each other or complain. I attributed some of this to the hard childhood they had had with Minnie's preacher-husband in Mississippi, who used to beat her, which caused her to lose an eye. The children were all very close to their mother and were extremely courteous and civil to others. R.I.P., Frances. ” - Kathryn Barbour

“So sad that this beautiful baby had to die on her birthday. I remember turning 14 and all I could think about was skating and having a party with friends. And not knowing what this young lady had to go through and think of moments before she was executed on her bday. I pray you got peace and you were able to celebrate your 14th bday in Heaven after all.” - Kia
