Lauren Rodriguez
I am Lauren Franklin, and Velma was my great aunt on my father's side. I just found this today (5/20/2021) on the fourth anniversary of her death. I am saddened to find this, but hopeful because I am our family's genealogist. I would genuinely appreciate an opportunity to talk with the family if they're receptive. please feel free to reach out to me by call or text at 737-802-9652.
Our side of the family was not given a chance to know the family, by choice of Velma's brother William Cora, Jr. (always known as Bill Franklin). We are saddened by his choice, but we now can reach out.
Please accept our sincerest condolences.
Velma was aunt to my father, William Larry Franklin (1948 to present), and his sister Jo Ann Franklin McElreath (1945 to 2017).
