Mike, I'm so sorry about your Mom. The lost of a loved one is always hard, and I'm sure you'll miss her. Remember the good times, try to forget the bad, and only think of the love you felt for her and she for you.

Dear Mike, Bobby and Cheryl,

Christine has always held a special place in my heart. From the times I used to stay at her house, she took the time to take me crabbing, fishing and Tom always brought home chocolate milk from Marva Maid for me to drink for my entire visit. At 10 years old, that was as good as hitting the lottery!

I will always remember your Mom and Dad for making all of us laugh, share great memories and having fun whenever we were around them.

What a blessing to have them in our lives growing up.

Love,

Scott, Debbie, Brenden, Ryan and Drew Flora
