To The Family: There are no words to express my love for you and Aunt Floria. She is my second Mother and has always been there for me as long as I can remember. You kids are like brothers and sisters and I hope will continue to keep in touch. Terry has been wanting to go visit her for a long time but just couldn't get feeling good enough to but I guess now they are having a great visit. I wish I could been there for you but the pain pills kept me asleep until 12:15 so I would have been late if I could have walked. Love you all and know we will all miss Aunt Floria (she was wonderful). Love Bette Lou and Dale

Dana Lee, I am so sorry to hear about your sweet Mother's passing. I'm afraid we saw it in the paper to late to come to the funeral. I'm sure my Grandma and Grandpa Bailey and my Mom are welcoming her with open arms. They loved her so much and always enjoyed her visits. You and your Mom have a very special spot in my heart as well. Love to you and your family, Susan

Family, We are so sorry we are unable to attend the services for Aunt Floria. It is with great pleasure that I remember the many clothes she made for Kathy and I. What a brave and courageous person. She was a wonderful example for all of us. What a sad loss after Terry's death. What a wonderful reunion there must have been.
