“It has been a joy for her to be in our lives because she saved us.”
Her loved ones came from near and far their cars lining her street in Semmes, dropping off gifts, giving their love, wishing her a happy birthday.
“We take care of her ourselves because she took care of us and that’s what family is all about, taking care of eachother, each generation doing their part, she did hers and now it’s our turn,” said Lewis.
Throughout her years Frost has been known for being an avid quilter, gardener, and terrific cook who loves her church.
