Flo was a wonderful loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She was very devoted to her family and their needs, taking care of them in any way she could. If parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah yes, these things I too shall miss. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me FREE.
