Although we had not seen each other for some time, I will still miss Flo's smile and loving personality. As children we often spent time together when our families visited each other and that time was always enjoyable. My condolences Paul, and may God bless Flo and hold her in the hollow of his hand.

We had each other during our childhood and kept in touch through the years with Christmas cards. We were cousins who loved each other and I know we will someday see each other again. My condolences to Paul and family.
