So sorry to hear of Flora's passing...my family and I extend our sincere condolences at your loss. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Some of my best memories of Flora were at church where my family and I spent numerous hours with our church family there and Flora being an important part of that family.

So sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of Flora as we were growing up at Grace and Concordia. No matter what it was~ church potlucks, youth league, school, or just family visits~she was always smiling,laughing, and ever happy. May your hearts be light knowing that she made a difference. God bless.

This is Melissa Powell Gean. My dad was Bobby Fred Powell. He went to our heavenly father, March 22, 2004. My mother, Jessie, is living here in Florence, Alabama. She is doing quite well. I was so sorry to hear about Ms. Barnard's passing. I remember that smile and wonderful hugs. It brought back alot of memories of our two families hanging out together. The trips to Sun Lake and dinners together. I remember one specific Thanksgiving dinner at your house and it started snowing!! All of kids were so excited! My prayers are with all of you during this time. Melissa Powell Gean
