I always have good memories of our trip to Florida to stay with Flo and family. I remember her always with a smile and remembering things about my kids and always interested in them and my family. My prayers are with Jim and the family. It will tough without her! I feel for Samantha. I'm glad she has such good family support.

i just found this. How we will miss Flo! She was such a good hostess when we, with 5 kids piled in on her at Christmas time. She planned a cook-out at the beach New Year's Eve, took Lester and Ron fishing, went to Weekie Watchie. Took us to the space center where Jim worked---so many things. We went back other times. Last time was after we'd gone to Disney with Terri, Cathy, Dawn and boys. Flo and Jim picked us up and we stayed there a few days. They sent us home with boxes and suitcases filled with oranges, lemons, grapefruits, etc. Sure wish she could have been to her funeral to see all the many relatives who were there---and all the beautiful flowers. Sure will miss her phone calls.
