Flossie lovingly rocked everyone of my babies at HMH and each one of mine and all the other babies there were special to her, and that makes Flossie special. What a wonderful example to us all as to how we should treat other people-Flossie's way, with a sincere caring and concern for her fellow man. God bless her and all her family-watch over us all Flossie from up there, we know you have connections up there now.

Prayers for all family during this time. I have known Ms.Flossie for a long time through church. She was a sweet person and had a beautiful smile. Always smiled even when she didnt feel good. All the staff at Grandhaven will miss her. I feel like I have a connection when I provide care for my residents. We would sing together to keep our minds off of getting out of bed which hurt her..RIP Flossie till we meet again.

Flossie shared her kindness with so many people. Great memory of sitting with her as she told a baseball story to Marty Brennaman when the Cincinnati Reds Caravan came to Cynthiana. A very blessed soul.
