This lady became our family's neighbor in 1965. She has been a real presence in all of our lives through the years. From checking power outages with our parents, checking about us kids, and in later years contacting me if she hadn't saw mom out and about so I could go check. Even the greats are aware who Flo is. She was a good neighbor and friend and will be missed dearly. Our hearts go out to Don and his family.

Aunt Flo was like a second Mother to me and that seems to have been true since I was a baby. She said when I was scolded (probably a lot), I cried out "Auntie Obie, Auntie Obie" (since I couldn't say Flo-ie) for her to rescue me. :) She was one feisty, sassy lady -- and a role model for us all. And she was so proud of her devoted, loving son Donnie who was her guardian angel every second of every day. Every time we talked on the phone she had another story to tell about how he wouldn't let her mow the yard, wash the windows, or whatever else she was sure she could still do. We will all miss her beyond any words. She made all of our lives brighter and better.
