So sorry to hear of Francee’s death. We were childhood friends (late elementary & middle school) in Meadowbrook. I was a little older and thought she was so cute w/her curly hair and that she was very sweet. May good memories comfort you during the difficult times ahead. Sincerely, Dona Lyerly Wilson Hickory, NC
