We lovingly remember our times with Mrs. Lee at church. Her beautiful smile and gentle spirit always warmed the hearts of our family as we trusted her and many others at Trinity to help us rear our family. Thank you, Mrs. Frances Lee, for being there for so many of us as we struggled to live in the admonition of the Lord. Rest in peace...you've earned your reward! The Ernest Lambert Family

Love you Aunt Frances. I remember when Little grandma would bring me to your salon to curl my hair for eater every year. I miss you giving me the biggest curls, I will miss your cookies, and I for sure miss you cooking Thanksgiving. But nothing compared to having you at family functions with all your light and wisdom. Give Little grandma a hug for me. Rest easy Aunt Franny. Love you always. -Taira Carney
Heaven is going to have the best chocolate chip cookies and Thanksgivings ever! Bj and I were talking about them just a couple of weeks ago. You had such a giving heart and were loved by so many. Saying "Hey 'Ant' Frances!!" when I saw you at all of the family gatherings became extra special once we moved away. I am going to miss that so, so much. We love you Ant Frances!! Joy, BJ, and the kids.
My Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Lee! So suddenly you left us in a fleeing moment! I remember us (early on Sundays) in the Church kitchen cooking chicken from 1986 to 1990 every Sunday for four years straight, never missing a Sunday in those four years. Serving the dinners together and feeding our flock at Trinity Baptist Church. I am going to miss those beautiful smiles and working with you in the Church Interest Group. The Church Interest Group will never be the same, getting ready for our yearly program without you. We're going to miss that beautiful smile and your laughter, the beautiful hats and accessories, your nickname for me, our burst of laughter on Sunday mornings when you saw me! Finally, our last laughter we had together when I told you that my husband had nickname me, Ms. Lee and you laughed until tears stream down your face when I told you why. They're going to have some happy times in heaven with your smiles and hellos. Take care our sweet friend -- rest in peace, you deserve it for a job well done!
