Dear Ro and all your family,

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. I am glad that I had the pleasure of meeting her. She was a wonderful woman and raised a beautiful family. The world is a better place for having "Flo" in it. She lived a great life and raised some great kids. Our prayers are with you and your brothers and sister as well as all the grandchildren.

I am very sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of meeting "Flo" several times over the years that I worked with and became good friends with her daughter, Rose. She always had a beautiful smile on her face. The entire Hurley family is in my thoughts and prayers. All my love.

Our deepest sympathies to the entire and extensive Hurley family for the loss of "Nanny Hurley". The warmth of her heart, her laughter and the love she so generously shared will never be forgotten. Neither will her black and white whoopie pies. We will miss her and are sending our love and support to all of you at this very sad time. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
With Much Love,

My Dearest Hurley Cousins: I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear Mother. My Auntie Floss was one of the sweetest, most wonderful women I have ever known, and even though I regrettably lost touch with her and all of you over the years, I will always hold the memory of her close to my heart. She was, to me, the next best thing to my own Mother. May she rest in Peace. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Much Love,
Mary Driscoll Vinson
