Frankie Lons, the mother of singer Keyshia Cole who appeared alongside her daughters on the BET reality series “Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is,” has died.
Cole confirmed her mother died in a social media tribute Thursday, alongside a series of photos of her mother throughout the years.
“This is so hard man. Can’t really even find the words. SMH. I honestly don’t even know how to feel,” Cole captioned her post. “You can never prepare for something like this… Ever!!! but you will be missed. It’s crazy because… For weeks I’ve been quoting you, from the goose that laid the golden egg, to calling Neffe shoes slow burners, cause they were bought scuffed up already your humor was unmatched!!!”
Cole added her late mother was “naturally so funny, that’s what I loved about your personality… we all did.”
“I created this post to show my love and appreciation for your life and I would like to thank my fans + supporters, shooot your supporters and fans, for being here with us during these hard times, and the love that you all have for us…..the love for all your children was definitely felt,” the singer continued. “When u said all you want is to have ALL OF YOUR CHILDREN IN ONE PLACE, AT ONE TIME meant the most to you, And I’m completely down to do that for you. Even through our differences …. WE LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! Frank da bank!”
Cole did not disclose her mother’s cause or date of death.
