I wish to offer my sincere sympathies to my cousins Merril Tlusty and Michael Van Allen on the passing of their beloved mother Flossie. It is a time of sadness but moreover it is a time to truly celebrate a life which saw 95 years of life on this earth and contributed in so many ways to her family and community. What a blessing....
