I know these good people will miss Flo! It was our pleasure to share the celebration of her 80th at Walt Disney World! I think they all had a grand time watching the Wishes fireworks display from the best seat in the house! Now she can watch over you all from an even better seat. May choirs of Angels sing you to your rest
So sorry to hear this. She was generous and allowed us in her home. Made us welcome while we visited with Rob.
A gracious lady
Rodger & I loved your Mom, she was such a joy to talk with! I know she is in such a better place feeling no pain! Love and prayers to you all, may God give you peace and comfort in the coming day! June & Rodger Keziah
