I met Flora in 2000. I got to know her more intimately when I gave birth to her granddaughter in 2002. My daughter's name is Olivia June Ali. I clung to Flora for the sake of my child. My child's father and Flora's son, Ollie Wallace, passed when I was pregnant with our daughter. Olivia never knew how one sweet hug from her daddy felt. But she knew the sweet hugs and kisses and loves given by her Gramma Flora. Losing Flora is a devastating blow to my child's life. We will pray to smell her scent. We will pray to hear her laughter. We will pray to feel her love and her spirit in us and around us. We love you Gramma Flora. See you again someday!?
