To all of Flo’s family, Please accept our deepest sympathy at this difficult time. I always enjoyed seeing her for lunch at EatnPark on her casino outings. My fondest memory is her and my Aunt Shirley and that ugly Christmas ornament they passed around for years pranking each other. Remember all the great times you’ve all had. May she Rest In Peace. We are very sorry for your loss.
