Debbie, Nancy ,Karen, Edie, & Shannon,

I will always remember "Granny Flowers" and how excited I would get as a child on Halloween because she always had a special treat bag for us .... her laughter was contagious and could lift the most down trodden spirit. May God comfort you all in your time of loss and prepare for you all a most joyous reunion in Heaven !! Janet Williamson Benge's Daughter

Nancy, Debbie and Josephine,
Blue Ridge is losing all it's wonderful people, your mother and sister was one of them. I have fond memories of Elizabeth "Tater" and the beautiful smile she always had for everyone. She was a good friend to my mother and I am sure they are making up for lost time in heaven. God bless you all at this time.

To the Family of Mrs. Flowers:
We are saddended by the loss of Mrs. Flowers. Our daughter Ashley met her about 7 years ago while doing Meals On Wheels with her grandparents. At that time she was only two years old. Ashley had just recently lost her own great grandmother and really bonded with Mrs. Flowers. Through the years Ashley always looked forward to going on the route and visiting her. She was a very very special lady and will be missed by all that knew her.

Debbie, Nancy and family,

I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I know how hard it is and know how much you will miss her but your memories will give you comfort. I'll bet she and Mom and Aunt Lucille are in heaven, telling all the stories from their childhood, and giving our Dads a hard time!! I'll keep you both in my prayers.

To Cousin Lully! We will miss you but know you are in heaven with Tater, your Mom & Dad and all your aunts, uncle and cousins. Thank you for being a cousin and I loved you and your family dearly. Your house was the only house I stayed overnight at when I was little. Your family was the only ones that called me Polly and I loved you for that.
