Joe and Ellen, may knowing that friends care and are praying for God's Grace to be with you at this difficult time ease the ache in your hearts.

Aunt Flo was a sweet, soft spoken lady. A loving mother and wife. She will forever be missed. One of my fondest memories for me is when I was a young girl. I would go to spend a weekend at the farm with them. We always made cakes with the white frosty icing we used to boil it, was like fluffy sticky marshmallows. Awesome times. Fresh milk and loving attentive Aunt and Uncle was a big plus. I will miss you. Love Georgia
