Dear Flo,

One of my warmest, favorite memories growing up is when our family visited you and Dickey and Uncle Louie in Lowell. We always looked forward to Dickey’s wonderful cooking -- she put her whole heart and soul into delicious Greek dishes. You and Dickey and Uncle Louie always welcomed us into your home, asking us how school was going, what was our favorite subject, what was happening on the boyfriend front -- through the years, we always felt warmly loved and cared for. May these happy memories bring a smile to your face and help you in the days ahead. You are a dear person and continue to be in our thoughts always.
