For many years, working side by side at The Inquirer, Flossie was my trusted co worker, confidant, moral supporter, and wonderful friend. She was always there for me or anyone else who needed a prayer. She will always live in my heart. I will never forget her. Love to everyone in her family.

Having worked with Flossie at the Inquirer for many years, I cannot remember anyone more kind, caring, generous or religious than she. A truly beautiful person inside and out. I hope you are consoled by the fact that I am quite sure her rewards in heaven are great.
