My mother, Joyce, was Flo's roommate at Overlook. Flo looked after my mother like she was my mother's big sister (even though she was younger than her!) She encouraged Mom to go to Bingo, crafts and other activities. She even scolded some of the staff if she didn't think they were doing enough for my mother! She was part of the reason that my mother improved over the last 6 months at Overlook.

We will always remember her kindness shown towards both my mother and myself. She will be greatly missed by many! She was a special lady!

Hugs to Flo's family and friends,
Darlene & Joyce
