Jim and I always enjoyed our conversations with Flo out in our front yards. Flo was always reaching out a helping hand to those in need. She loved her family and her kitty, Buddy. May her family be comforted in this time of mourning.

Dear Kathy and Lynn,
We were saddened to hear of your loss. I will always fondly remember your Mom as a witty and friendly woman who would take anyone under her wing. She always made me feel welcome at her home just as God has welcomed her into His home. You have our deepest sympathy.

Flo was a member of my Coropolis High School class. Esther O'Dovovan, my late wife, and Flo lived on Maple Street in Cory and they used to walk to school together. Flo was a great person and you are very lucky to have had her as your mother.

Maddy,
Pat and I feel horrible that you and your family are currently going through this very sad time. I know this is a great loss for you and your sister and the kids. I hope you can find comfort in the wonderful full life your mom led. She seemed to us to have a full life being a teacher and having two great daughters and finally grandkids. I am sure so many people loved her. She was so young and full of vigor. She would have such a great time at your parties on the 4th. She cracked me up going on the motorcycle rides. It was just last year on the 4th that she was at it again...riding on the back of a Motorcycle. I loved how she would sit down with us young people and crack open a beer and just start talking. She lived life to the fullest!!!
