Mary Jo,
I am amazed that I remember your MOM and how energetic she was.I didn't know how much of an athlete she was, but now I understand. What a terrific lady...hard for me to realize that was more than 50 years ago. Prayers for you and your family!! Tom DiBiase-- 8th grade

To Friends and Family of Flo,
I was deeply saddened to hear the news about my dear Flo. I had the honor and privelage of seeing and interacting with Flo on a daily basis here at Ridgewood Retirement Community seeing as I was the leader of all actities. :) She had made such a tremendous difference in my life and has warmed my heart with so many wonderful memories. She was my friend and my helper through all activities. She was right by my side at every one making sure I didn't need any help. Words cannot express how much I myself, as well as everyone here in her Ridgewood family, will miss her. Things are just not the same. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families as you go through this tough time.
Best Wishes,
Kaeli Bixler (Activities)

Mary Jo, Beechie, and Dave: I got to know Florence and all of you through Donna. I remember the nice visits with her and your father in Bellevue when Donna stayed there at the first of her illness and then at Donna's house when a group of us gathered there each week for a visit. She lived a full life and is now at peace. My thoughts are with you and your families.
