The Bellamy Brothers Lose Their Mom

The Bellamy Brothers' Howard and David Bellamy are mourning the loss of their mother. The duo note on their website that Frances Bellamy died on Christmas Eve, at her home in Darby, Florida. They say she had many family members by her side as she passed, including her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Frances Bellamy was 85. The singers are asking fans to respect their privacy at this time. They share their appreciation for the well wishes, thoughts, and prayers sent their way, and they have an e-mail address posted where fans can send their condolences and other messages of support. The Bellamys add that flowers, quote, "are not necessary," and suggest making a donation to Hospice Services in Frances' name instead of buying a floral arrangement.
