    Florence Ballard's Daughters

    Has anyone heard anything about or seen Florence Ballard's three children, the twins Nicole and Michelle, and their younger sister Lisa. The twins would be 48 years old and Lisa would be 45 years old. I met both Nicole and Michelle years ago in Washington, DC at a Supremes exhibition. They were both flown into DC from Detroit to make an appearance at the exhibit. Maybe ten or more years ago I saw a media report that they were struggling. Hopefully their lives have improved.

    Any updates on them? Thank you.

    All I've heard lately is that at least some of Flo's daughters attended Diana's recent hometown show in Detroit.

    Flo's grandson [[Lisa's boy I believe) is an aspiring rapper and has a couple of videos on Youtube.

    Lisa Chapman lives and works in Detroit but as of last Thursday she wasnt going to the R & B awards show in Detroit. Lisa has beutiful kids and grandkids and attended Diane Rosses show in Detroit last month.

    shes a lovely woman and looks so much like her mom.

    She has and continues to do Jimi, but she does so quietly and discreetly unlike others who insist upon the glare of publicity.

    Mary and Martha have the energy of folks half their age. Flo's girls look like their beautiful mother. Would be interesting to know if they have the vocal chops of their mother. So sad they lost their mother at such a young age.

    I have never heard any of them sing. Florence's niece has a very nice voice. I can't remember her name at the moment.
