The Family of Felicia White Cochran
My condolences to Felicia’s family. I am Pam Gage Heivilin. Felicia and I went all through grade school and high school. We were both very shy in our early years and spent much time together commiserating. Through the years we managed to see each other every now and then but our friendship never wavered. I always looked forward to her famous HAPPY BIRTHDAY messages on facebook. She was a kind and loving person and I will truly miss her.
My love and prayers to all of you. Franny hugs to you and your brothers. I’m sorry I missed being there for you all. I remember how I got to hang out at your place when you guys first moved here. She was a very sweet n kind lady and spending time at the church singing gospel was fun to learn . Her cooking skills you got and keep cherishing those family recipes. Love you dearly even if we had a fall out. I’m still here no matter what.
My condolences to Steve, Francine and the rest of the family. She was a wonderful person everytime I’d see her at the library and being friends with Steve and Francine she had to have been a great mother to have such great kids.
