I will always remember Flo with a french twist and a large print silk shirt. When I was little I always wondered how she did her hair, and then one day she brought me to the beauty shop so that I could see. I loved going to visit Grampa and Flo whenever I could. We would go to the pet store every single time. I have such fond memories of her and I will hold them dearly forever. My thoughts and prayers are with her and rest of the family.

I have many years of fond memories of Flo. Her sense of humor was always looked forward to and lasted her entire life. She was great support for my father and us and I am truly happy that she lived such a long life. My best to the rest of her family and my thoughts are with you.
